HIGHWAY GUYS

Steve and Peter travel the roads of the U.S. in an RV (called The Beast). Steve is retired and disabled (mobility impaired) and Peter is his service dog. They started their adventure on September 11th ,2003. Home base currently is Los Angeles, California. On the road, they live in a 1993, 28 foot, Allegro Bay class A motor home. Their goal is just to enjoy the thrill of travel and exploration for as long as the Beast and their health allow.

050226-Fort Worth

050226 – Saturday

As a disclaimer, let me tell you if you expect this entry to be exciting or even entertaining, stop reading now.

This past week has been low key and just an attempt to keep away from the bad weather – which we were not successful at.

In fact, one morning, the thunder and lightning was so dramatic and loud, Peter actually was so scared or depressed that he did not come out from his hiding place (under the steering wheel) when I poured his food into his bowl.

One evening it was so warm that I had to use the air conditioner, and the next day it was in the 40’s.

We spent 4 days in Tyler, Texas to wait out the rains; one day on and one day off.
Peter really gets cranky when it rains all day and we are stuck indoor, and it is not a pretty sight.

We arrived in Fort Worth today with a dry morning but rainy afternoon and night. The prediction of no rain tomorrow is hopeful.

The most exciting thing I did was battle these giant mosquitoes with my swatter – I felt like King Kong on top of the Empire State Building swatting at the attacking airplanes.

Till next time,
