We should have stayed in Bandera! Traveling in the winter no matter where you go apparently can be dicey. I’m sure everyone is aware of the cold fronts affecting the U.S and Canada. You would think being down south would get us away from all that &^%%^$ !
Well…..nope
Here is what we had to drive through to get to Fort Stockton.
We hit not just freezing weather, we had mist that was freezing on our windshield. We also didn’t have the proper windshield wiper fluid for sub zero temps, because frankly, why would we?
Stopping at every gas station and rest stop we limped to Fort Stockton. Each time stopping to wait until the defroster cleared the windshield. What a process and what a pain in the ass. Now one might ask why didn’t you purchase windshield washer fluid……..well the gas stations were all sold out, that’s why.
We finally got into somewhat warmer weather during the day, but not at night as in Fort Stockton we froze our pipes. So now….no water. Off to Las Cruces New Mexico and an overnight stay. Next morning we were lucky to get into a repair shop right across the street from where we were staying. Luckily we only cracked a few connectors so not a massive bill, but expensive none the less. Good news? We are doing all the right things, we just hit some really bad weather.
Now off to Tucson Arizona!
