Ok, here is a little more detail on our trip to TX.
I picked Eric up from his grandmothers in Holland and diagnosed her fuel leak, it was a rusted fuel line.

We then hit the expressway and headed south, we got into Illinois somewhere and refueled.
Kept driving and listening to CD's and talking it up.
It started raining about half way through IL and it never stopped until we hit Texas, literally it never stopped raining until TX.

We stopped at the welcome center in TX and stretch our legs and use the restroom.
We continued on to our camp ground.

We checked in and found our site, it was some 100+ yards from the parking lot.
The pooper was a outhouse with no locks on the doors.
The lake was manmade, they damed up a creek and flooded a low area, they trees were still standing and sticking out of the water...creepy.

The wind was blowing very hard, and it never stopped.
We set up camp and crashed in the tent for a hour or two, then went and took a shower.
There was a dirty diaper in each shower and no hot water, I hate public showers.

Then we headed for Lola's on 6th street about 60 miles away.
Eric blew the fuse to my cigarette lighter by trying to plug in his power inverter so we had to stop and buy fuses and fire wood.

When we got into Dallas traffic got a little thick, but not bad.
Then as we were parking the truck the tachometer went to zero and the battery light came on.
We then walked down to a Wendy's and ate dinner.
Then we got into Lola's and had a Heineken and waited for the band.
First up was Eagle Claw, a heavy metal band that does not sing, it was awesome!!
Then The Sword came on, it too was good but just WAY to loud.
People were really getting into it, there was a mosh pit and everything.
It was a small venue, very intimate.

Afterwards I could not hear a damn thing and the truck was working again, the Rover Gods were pleased.

Once we got back to camp we were going to have a camp fire, we just crashed in the tent, I slept GREAT!

The next morning we ate breakfast and broke camp, got cleaned up a little and headed for Oklahoma.
The tach started acting up which told me that the alternator was going south.
So once we got to our exit we hit a AutoZone and I bought a cheap socket set for $10.
We continued onto the festival and parked.
I then let the truck cool off for a little while and then changed the alternator in the parking lot, I was wise enough to bring a spare, it is used but hell it works.

Kyle and Rhonda and Clayton showed up.
Rhonda had just finished running a marathon and was tired, I would have been too.
It was great to see those guys again after so many years.

This is where we were.

Rhonda took Clay back to the hotel so they could nap.
We went to a tattoo parlor and Eric looked at the books while Kyle and I talked.
We then went to a pub and did Jagermeister shots and drank Heineken.
Then we went and got our spots for The Sword.

They were alot better at the open air festival because it was not so loud and the crowd was bigger.
There were people crowd surfing and a girl was almost dropped on her head.

Afterwards we got back into the truck and took Kyle to the Hotel.
We said our goodbyes and headed or home.

We stopped for breakfast in Ill at a Crackerbarrel.
Then we got our last tank of gas and made a beeline for Eric's house.
It was nice to see the "Welcome to Michigan" sign at the state line.

All-in-all it was a great trip, we had tons of fun and the truck ran great.
Once again she has never not gotten me home.
God I love my truck.
