Hanging with K
Later that evening, the first injury of the trip was experienced by Purvis, who was mistaken for a dog toy by K's dog while we weren't looking. Fortunately, his injuries were repairable with a little superglue and he is recovering nicely. However, the surgeon (me) was not so good with the superglue, so he will have to undergo a series of supergluectomies to remove the excess.

Slept in Tuesday and shared a late breakfast with K, who brought home some Waffle House while on a break from work. Afterward, I headed to a local climbing gym to get a workout before getting back on the road. A storm was rolling into town, and it was not pleasant driving through the downpours, but I made it to the hotel safely. Wednesday featured even worse driving weather, as it was windy and rainy. The spray from semis made passing them a terrifying endeavor as there was always a split second where the visibility was zero. Ugh! The rain eventually cleared, and I was able to take advantage of the posted 80mph speed limit. Passed another sweet picnic spot, this time with teepee picnic tables. After being in Texas for three days, I finally had a meal at Taco Cabana before driving out to the Hueco Rock Ranch, my home for the next few days. Glad to be in one place for a while instead of driving several hours a day. I know my next job won't be a truck driver!
