We had a plan. But plans change. That’s the deal with traveling all these miles; not every one of them is trouble-free. Instead of driving to our next stop today, we spent the day at French Ellison truck repair.
On the way to Lake Casa Blanca yesterday, the bus started running rough, but then it cleared up. Instead of just driving on, we decided to stop at a repair shop, let them connect a computer to our coach, and read any error messages. They did that and found one. They got a hit on the boost sensor; it’s starting to fail and needs to be replaced. No problem. Except the part isn’t here in Laredo. It won’t get here until tomorrow. So back to Lake Casa Blanca State Park for another night.
Now this was the day we were supposed to travel though all those counties we need for our map, spot some birds, and end up in Crystal Springs for the night. Well, there was still some daylight left when we found out we couldn’t get fixed until tomorrow, so we piled in the car and drove through those counties we need and recorded our sightings.
Now our Texas county map looks like this:
Less empty spots.
And back at the state park, listening to the night birds calling, our camp looks like this.
