We are in the Rio Grande Valley

Hi. Yes we had a couple of inches of snow in Nebraska--had to clean off the slides and wait until 11 am before we could hit the road. The roads were wet but not slippery. The camper and truck sure were a mess when we got out of the slush. Got to Guthrie OK by night. It was still below freezing so no water on-board--we decided to stay in a motel for some hot water. We also plugged in the camper at another motel's camping spots. Started to warm up when we got to TX so we stayed just north of San Antonio Saturday night. We got to the Valley on Sunday afternoon--looked over our first project but can't stay there until Friday. The project should be interesting--the church looks like an old spanish mission with a metal building in the back yard. The camping facilities are in the same back yard--it will be interesting to get our camper through the gate and turned around. Today we got some of the road dirt washed off the truck and camper. Had a New Year party at the camp ground tonight--everyone went home by 9:30--that's old people for you. Beautiful today in the 70's--will be "cold" the next couple of days--only in the 60's. Thanks for your prayers. nlsower

We are back on the road

Hi everyone. B and C are back on the road--heading for Hidalgo, Texas. R and V are not going to any project this winter--I'll let them know when there are messages for them if they don't see the post.

We left on Dec 26, but only made it 30 miles to Raymond, MN--U-joint on the truck went bad. We made it back to New London so Steve, Kevin and Bob could replace the U-joint. Got going again on the 27th--made 400 miles to Nebraska City, Nebraska. Roads were dry all the way. Rather foggy so the trees were beautiful.

Sounds like there may be some snow to the south tomorrow morning clearing in the afternoon. It may be slow going.

This campground is covered with ice--sure is good to have 4-wheel drive or I may not get out of here. Bye nlsower (B and C)
