But, his time had come, I made an appointment with a doctor in a town I&#8217;ll be in shortly, and at least the parts for the repair came in. Now I just need a little help getting them installed.<\/p>\n<p>And, I was parked right next to a lemon tree at the KOA in Tucson. They encouraged me to take lemons, and you can see that I did!<\/p>\n<p>I made it to Alamogordo, New Mexico last night and got into my campsite at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park just as the last bit of twilight was fading. No further damage was done to truck or trailer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_154\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-154\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Storm-moving-in.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-154\" src=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Storm-moving-in.jpg\" alt=\"There's a storm moving in\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Storm-moving-in.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Storm-moving-in-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There&#8217;s a storm moving in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I will be reporting on some places I was last month as well as keeping you up to date on where I am.
