We had to stay out of Memphis for a day due to the tornado warnings.
We then got out of there before the Mississippi came up for the flood warnings.
While in Dallas, we got hit by 30mph gusting to 40mph winds and since driving a 36' motor home in that is not too cool, we stayed until this morning. 
When hell froze over.
Well, it didn't exactly freeze over, but it was the record coldest May day in Dallas.....ever.

The campground we were in there was really convenient to Cowboy stadium and Ranger stadium, but it was also next to Grand Prarie airport.  Which wouldn't have been bad cause there weren't too many small planes in and out.  However, there must be some kind of helicopter training facility there cause they hovered over us until we were asleep and woke us (okay, me) at 6am.  Not amusing.  It even got to him.  When we got to Midland tonight and turned on the TV we realized just how damn loud they'd been since the TV was screaming loud.

There really is nothing in west Texas.  Except oil derricks and thousands of giant windmills in a huge wind farms.

So, we're in Midland for the night and will be heading out to Las Cruces NM tomorrow for a couple of days.

Wonder what we can bring to the state of New Mexico....
