Day 5 of the tour

Today was the most eventful day. We were all really tired last night and it was good that we sslept for 4 hours in the Walmart parking lot. Our goal is to reach San Diego the southern most point of the Western Mainland US. Considering we started this trip from Boston and came via New Orleans, this would be a North - South and East - West trip.We got up at 8 AM and started proceding towards Temple while being in touch with the rental company. We needed to goto a RV service center. Spare tyres are usually good only for a couple of hundered miles so we needed to get a new tyre. Also the water in the sink had been leaking for two days making the bathrooms and the sink unusable. We pulled into Lone Star Service Center in Holly Hall which is close to Temple. The guys there were terrific and put us back on the road in 90 mins. We finally reached Temple at 2 in the afternoon. We had a great lunch there and then hit the road at 5 in the evening. We reached the town of Fort Stockton Texas around 11 in the night for gas and food. It is a small town in Texas. This is where things got interesting. Our driver drove to the drive through which is of 8 feet height with our RV which is 12 feet and 4 inches. The owner came out called the cops and tried to make a big scene. He actually wanted us to give him a cheque of 1800 dollars for the small dent on the drive through roof. He then started saying ridiculous things such as that our rental RV insurance that we took does not cover the damages and that we dont even possess our own personal car insurances(Even though that doesnot matter in this situation at all). However we called the rental company and gave the phone to the cop to explain everything when he started using abusive language. The cop told him to stay away just got our details and then asked us to leave. The cop was really nice other wise we would have had a tough time. A couple of hours later a cop pulled us over and gave a speeding ticket for doing 79 at a 65 zone. Everyone can guess who the driver was. He had a very eventful day indeed. He was warned in the guestbook to drive slowly but then here is today having driven into the drive through and with hours later a speeding ticket from a Texas State Trooper. I think that at this point I should take over. Bye for now.
