Finally at a stop for the night-4/16/10

It's been a little stressful today, since the place I had picked out for our stop in Odessa, TX tonight did not have any open pull thrus. The first clue should have been the big rig we met at the highway intersection, coming OUT of the park at 3 PM. So... we continue east on I-20 with me holding the computer, the Trailer Life book, the Woodalls book, the KOA book and the Camping Club book-looking for a new place. I hate this unorganization! I called one place down the road and got a stupid voice mail but left a message. Then called another place and they had no pull thrus. So I am being asked by the DRIVER- "so what are we going to do?" How the heck do I know. Oh, I need to add that the Verizon card quit working on the computer (no signal).

This stretch of Texas does not have an over abundance of RV parks. I did mention a Walmart but got told that he had to watch the truck race tonight. So somehow that was suppose to translate into NO WALMART! Finally I get a call back from the first lady and she confirmed she had a spot. Oh, yeah but the timing was excellent. We were at exit 171 and we needed to get off at exit 177- straight ahead! It's not an easy off, easy on, as we had to go through town for 5 miles. Anyway, we are all checked in and settled in time for the race.

The REALLY big news is that my NASCAR man, Tony, is on the poll this weekend in Texas. It's been 4.5 years since he has been on the poll and I think this is his 400th Cup start so isn't that cool?

PS. There is no truck race tonight. It is an ARCA race- wannabees. A caution every 3 laps.
