Urban Primitive Site

     One of the tires was fixed a couple of days ago and I went on my way. I didn't want to wait around any longer. The company that helped me with the tire was absolutely awesome. Turns out they dont fix tires/rims, but they were generous enough to drive me around to places that would. A few hours later I had a new tire and a fixed rim. The even put the tire back on. They didn't charge me a dime. A shout out to Sean from Pittstop (auto technician) in Shawnee. A good review coming their way soon enough.

     I drove to the Black Kettle National Grasslands near the Texas border. A lake wss present and had a few locals out fishing on it. I put the hammock up and had a good nights rest.

     Yesterday (26th) I drove to Lake Meredith Recreation Area, TX. I planned on camping out but the wonderlust got the best of me. A really cool place, almost like a mini grand canyon. The scenery was stellar as well as the local who helped me find my way around. I stayed to eat lunch and dinner as well as to wait out a storm passing through. I went to hike the devils canyon trail, but the native told me not to hike it if it was overgrown because of rattlesnakes. It was overgrown so I heeded his advice. I did hear things rattling when I walked along it for a 1/10 of a mile, but I'm not sure if that was just my mind exaggerating the situation.

     After hanging out for 4-5 hours I started the journey into New Mexico. I rid make it and was feeling sleepy while driving so I ended up using an urban campsite, a rest stop. No one bothered me and I slept well. Except the temperature, when waking up it was in the low 40's, brrr.

     Going into a city later and plan on getting my other rim fixed and a new tire slapped on it. The mechanics said to get all new tires because it will mess with the AWD system, I may just do that.
