We woke up early this morning and were on the road by 8:30 am. The forecast was again for a 10-20 mph crosswind from the south and we wanted to get as many miles as possible before the wind kicked-in later in the day.
The road was clear and not much traffic as we headed east through Big Springs, Sweetwater and Abilene on the way to Fort Worth, TX. The wind finally got going just past Abilene but it was manageable - about a 10 mph crosswind from the south.
One thing we had to deal with that we noticed after leaving was that the RV air conditioner was not cooling. We were trying to decide how to fix the problem without disrupting our trip itinerary. We decided to check Camping World locations along the way as we will need AC in Florida. The Fort Worth Camping World could fit us in today so we arrived there about 2:30 pm. Alas, they discovered the AC compressor failed. It one respect it was fortunate they had another they could install. The bad news was we had to pay for the new one even though the old one is still under its two-year warranty. I'll have to deal with the warranty issue when be get back home, but for now we have cold air in the RV.
As it turns out, we are actually staying in Arlington, TX near the hated Dallas Cowboys stadium and the Texas Ranger's baseball park. Arlington is about halfway between Fort Worth and Dallas and along I-20. We will be here two nights with activities tomorrow TBD.
The park here we are staying is very nice, lots of trees and very quiet.
It was a long day, but we got the AC fixed and we can sleep in in the morning.
Pictures to follow tomorrow.
