Dottie got out of the truck with it still running and their cat managed to lock the doors! I sacrificed a coat hanger, but it was useless. Her keys, purse and cellphone were in the truck, so I lent her mine which was on its last legs of battery power. She did contact Good Sam roadside assistance, thought there would be a 3-hour wait, so called the local emergency number (two cats are locked inside) but then called Good Sam back with more satisfaction. A guy came out and had it open in seconds. I missed getting his picture though.
I told them I was glad that they were the ones providing the days excitement!
The rest of the day was spent driving to Van Horn, stopping at the Texas Welcome Center and a roadside rest area for lunch. We ought to be able to get an earlier start tomorrow. Today we did actually want to avoid all the El Paso congestion and we succeeded. I am sure there are attractive areas in El Paso, but we have never seen them.
