Back to Texas Fall 2009

When I left California I had no idea where I was going to go or what I was going to do.  I had been doing a lot of praying and felt I was doing the right thing but did not know where I would end up.  I know I can always show back up at my brother's house and he and be welcome to stay but I hate to impose.  I decided to return to the John Wayne RV Ranch as I could afford to stay there a few days while I decided what to do.  Soon after leaving Yuma I was stopped at a Border Patrol check station.  The young border patrol agent asked me who else I had with me.  When I told him no one he said "you should have a family in that nice motorhome".  I told him that I wished I did.
I made it to the John Wayne RV Ranch with no trouble.  It is just a few miles off of I-8 at exit 151.  While it is not very fancy it is a comfortable stop.  I stayed there several days and was able to meet a fiend in Casa Grande for lunch one of those days.  It is always nice to meet up with friends when I am on the road.
I decided to return to Johnny and Carol's house while I searched for a new job.  When I left the John Wayne RV ranch I returned to Las Cruses and visited one more night with my friend Margaret.  She was leaving the next day for a vacation trip so I was glad I caught her before she left.  I called Johnny and he said they were going to Fredericksburg for the weekend.  So I decided to join them there.  This changed my planned route.  Instead of taking I-20 I would stay on I-10.  I decided to stop at the Ft. Stockton RV park as it would be a little further along than Van Horn.  When I was checking in at Ft. Stockton I mentioned to the lady behind the desk that I was a Workamper and had just left a job I had gone to California for.  She looked at me kind of funny and asked "Do you need a job?" She told me that she had just had someone quit the day before!  Long story short I never made it to Fredericksburg!  God sure was looking out for me!  I ended up spending the rest of the fall and all winter there!
