Spring 2012: In the Beginning - arrived in Moab, UT

Our new adventure has started.  We left Thursday (3/15) around lunch and made it to a Wal-Mart in West Memphis, Arkansas.  Friday (3/16) we made it all the way to Amarillo Texas. All uneventful so far.  Sounds a little boring, right?  Well let’s fix that.  Friday (3/17) we were traveling north of Albuquerque New Mexico on a long desert road and had the right front tire blow.  Vaughan managed to get us on the shoulder safely, but we were both pretty shaken.  We luckily had cell phone service (1 bar) and were able to call a tow service.  Three hours later we had 2 new front tires (replaced the driver side to be safe) and had $1200 less in our wallets.  We spent the night beside (and inside) the Ute Mountain Casino in Towaoc, Colorado.  Today, Sunday, we made it to Moab, Utah where we will be spending this first month.  It’s been snowing and very windy but is supposed to be in the 70’s at the end of the week.
Ouch!
Pretty even when stormy.

    Got to watch those prairie chickens crossing the road, they're mean critters. you should have tried the slots out, maybe could have got your $1200 back. Seriously though, so glad you guys were OK.
