We left Denton, at 6:30 in the morning. It turned out to be a long and annoying day.
The weather was great, the truck ran perfectly just the damn GPS sent us on a big waist of time. "Gladys" (our name for her) had us all mapped out on the freeways straight through on our usual route, including a toll road, when we realized we were getting low on gas with no service stations ahead on this newly constructed toll road, we had to pull off to get fuel. Well, that was the start of out problems.
Once we finally located a service station (no easy task) and we fuelled up Gladys decided to route us across country on backroad - two lane highways instead of back to the freeway. I finally had to get out the atlas and figured out that she was taking us on a bee line straight from where we were directly to McAllen, but refusing to re-direct us 20 miles west, to get us back onto the freeways that we were previously travelling on. So we turned her off, navigated over to the freeway then turned her back on.
But we made it safe and sound, with no problems, so I guess we shouldn't complain.
JUST GLAD TO POUR A DRINK AND ENJOY THE TEMPERATURES
