It was COLD this morning so I took my time getting started. It warmed up quickly though and I was out of my jacket and winter gloves within an hour.
This little red bottle turned out to be a real problem when it leaked all over the saddle bag & everything in it. I didn’t notice it until it was way too late to do anything but toss the bottle & hope the smell would eventually go away – it never did….
Since I had to get on the slab out of Deming to get around the White Sands missile range, I decided to stop in El Paso, TX at the largest Harley dealer – Barnett Harley Davidson; my lucky day – free burgers. I bought a little refrigerator magnet and had a burger then got back on the road. You may remember, I took this same route last year and I ran out of gas. To make sure that didn’t happen again, I bought one of these little one gallon gas cans custom made to fit in the bottom of your saddle bag. About 10 miles outside of town, she started to sputter. With a huge smile on my face for having such foresight this time around, I unloaded the saddle bag and pulled out my spare gallon of fuel. Should have made sure I knew “the combination” to this thing before trying to use it on the side of the road. I had to break it but I got the gas out & made it into Van Horn without AAA’s assistance.
It was a long and windy day, and it’s a bit windy here in Van Horn as well but it’s nice to be clean and the KOA here has a Kitchen – dinner was excellent.
