LOOKS LIKE WE WON'T.......

Won't be getting to California.... at least for another week. There was nothing going out of Las Vegas on Friday when we made our drop of the boats, so we were sent back to Pharr, Texas. My, it seems like we were just there! And of course we were. We traveled back down the same route and arrived in Pharr early Monday morning. As of Monday late afternoon, the trailer had not been returned from Mexico. Bad thing is, there was already another marine driver at the hotel when we arrived and he was still here this afternoon as well. To think that we have had such good luck the last couple of times we were here. Well, we are still holding out hope that the trailer will be there tonight and we will be able to get a fresh start Tuesday morning. We are slated to deliver the boats to Kent, Washington by Monday, March 5th.

You would not believe the weather we are having here in Pharr. If it wasn't for a gentle breeze it would be downright HOT! You know from the previous posts how much we just love hot weather. (I hope you caught the sarcasm there) We much prefer cold weather to hot, so hopefully as we go further North we will get some.

Since we have traveled this route so many times in the past, there wasn't much new to report. I can tell you that ever since I have been on the truck with Craig, he has always said that he would love to haul a helicopter some day. Well, would you believe that while we were going Eastbound on Interstate 10 in Texas, we saw a helicopter being transported, a Huey Helicopter to be exact. Check out the picture. There was another truck traveling along that held three small Robinson 22's. Not that I would know what type they were, but Craig sure did.
I was trying to find something to like about the Southwest. After all, except for a stint in the early 90's when my whole house was decorated that way, I can't really say I like the actual region. But it does have it's share of beautiful sunsets and sunrises. I caught this picture as we were passing through Wickenburg, Arizona at dusk. So as we travel down these lonely stretches of highway to the Southern point of Texas, I'll try to always look on the bright side.......we will be leaving.......eventually....... and hopefully with a beautiful sunrise or sunset to help us along the way.
