06/16/18 - Today when I was filling up my 3 1/2 gallon jugs with water a maintenance man came by and offered to fill with the a hose instead of me trying to get them full from a drinking fountain. I left North Las Vegas, New Mexico around 9 35 am. Soon after being on the road, it got really windy so slowed me down to 50 miles per hour. At some point, I heard some noise and in my mirror, I saw something flopping in the wind. I pulled off at an exist to check it out and it got so windy that the very back bumper area (I guess that is what you call it) was getting loose so I got my electric tape out and taped it together. It has held very nicely the rest of the day. Plans were to make a stop for lunch around a 100 miles and there was suppose to be a rest area but on the other side of the highway. There was a sign that stated it was coming up in two miles but then the exit I thought where the rest stop was turned out to be only a very short distance so I slowly drove by to learn that was the rest stop. Of course, now there is nothing for miles. I had some crackers and chips as a snack so was not starving. So then my next stop was suppose to be for gas but I learned that I did not need it so continued to drive. I got very tired but did make it to the Walmart in Colorado Springs. I got to Walmart earlier than I usually do and the parking lot was rather full and busy. I couldn't really see much parking except on the side I came in and it was rather downhill. I parked and walked the parking lot to see if there was a better place to learn that they are resurfacing the parking lot and alot of it was blocked off and then all the equipment was parked in the area as well. So came back and decided I had to use the levelers since it really was quite hilly. I rested awhile and then decided I needed to get a few things from Walmart so when I closed the door to the RV, I got suspicious that it did not close right but yet I was able to lock it. I then tried to open it and of course I couldn't. I tried several times and then gave up and was walking to ask for help when I found these three people in the parking lot working on securing items on a trailer and asked for their help. The gal and guy came over and sure enough the gal was able to open it. I then greased it all up and we are working. Did my shopping, had dinner, ran generator for an hour to charge both computer and phone so will play on computer for a short time and then off to bed.
