287 ain't never been a free ride





This Cooder Graw verse has new meaning to me. I always thought in my mind it was from all the Highway Patrol that cruise that from Decatur to Amarillo! Not any longer.... plus I have a new respect for stranded drivers. I may not always stop but from here on out, I will say a prayer every time I see a traveler in distress. We are hoping it is just a hose and nothing major. It is sitting at a mechanic shop in Childress TX, 200 miles away now awaiting its diagonsis.
There are many blessings in our adventure. I realized how easily this could have happened when the kids and I were traveling by ourselves. Luckily Jamie was with us, with his work cell. Which brings me to our next blessing... neither one of our high dollar iphones were in range. 3rd - Cousin Jaylan and Jenn were on their way to the Panhandle and were 45 minutes ahead of us. They were close enough to turn around and get us.
