Day 99

Part of yesterday's mileage mystery is solved.  I'd put the truck in 4wd to get out of the driveway.  I forgot to take it out.  I drove all yesterday in 4wd.  Oh well.

Today's mileage was much better.  No 4wd and no headwind.  Because we gained an hour right after leaving, we went through El Paso at about 9:30 on a Saturday morning.  For the most part traffic was light.

The only other notable thing was that I had some difficulty getting out of a gas station due to a piece of shit who couldn't drive his car.  I ended up going over a curb with the trailer.  It scuffed up one of the tires pretty bad.  I'm hoping it's not fatal to the tire.

I also lost the spare tire cover.  People told me they fly off.  I thought ours was OK since it survived the trip down.  I was wrong.

We cover a little over 500 miles today.  It took about 8 hours and 45 minutes.  I don't want to do that again for awhile.
