Six on the road to adventure.

We six on the road and heading for the next adventure. Denise, Pata Blanca, Kazumba, Mr Ziggy and of course Peanut the precious purple Princess. Oh and me the blogger. That's six packed tightly into the Dodge ram and hauling our house on behind us.
 Day one started off good with a decent start after everyone got their seating assignments. In no time at all the Peanut moved up front and claimed the space between Denise and me. This will probably be her spot for the duration of the trip.

Ziggy and Peanut sharing the space.

Things went well and we stopped at a historical marker to fix lunch as we had not seen a picnic area yet on the backwater highway we were on. We were getting ready to leave when a lady pulled in behind us and walked up to the passenger side of the truck. Hello she said and asked us if we needed any assistance. She then went on to say that many people pull in there needing gas or they're broke down.

We told her that we had just stopped for lunch. She then told us that her great grandfather was the guy talked about in the historical sign. She gave us a brief description of her family history and we went on our way.

About 100 miles out of Eagle Pass the check engine light came on, I checked the gauges but everything looked good and the truck was humming along so I kept going. We pulled into Eagle Pass to get fuel and the truck began to overheat. I got fuel and checked the fluids. The water was a little low so I added some and onward we went. The truck immediately began to overheat again so we pulled to the side of the road and let it cool off. We then turned around and went back to Eagle Pass for the night and on to a Dodge dealer tomorrow. 

That's all for day one. I'm beat and stressed out. More later. Happy Mother's day!
