Google drove. 180 thru NM then 62/180 to El Paso (I think)

Yep mountains! Lots of eye candy in the daylight

Unloaded and about to snooze at the J. Not as many vans as I expected, good prospects for me

Alternator went halfway between Allamoor and Van Horne. Basically in the middle of nowhere where I had to search for a cell signal. (Yes Turtle you warned me 6 months ago)







But wait! There's more!

Looked on the map, recognized Odessa... had a friend call around the oreillys, he found one out of the 4 stores there. Problem was it was 143 miles away closing at 10.

Not sure what else to do, I turned my lights off and hopped on the highway and had a butt clenching nerve wracking 143 mile drive on my 3 batteries with the rocky theme going through my head. Made it to the store at 9:51! Ran out and held my alternator up to the sky in triumph!

Just downed two whoppers with cheese and fries, should be cold enough to work on now :D

So it's 24 here and with the howling wind feels like 7. Didn't want to open the front door to check the weather so I turned on the cat cam and there's snow splats on the window. Think my cats will stay inside today!
