Day 8

So phoning this one in… Get it.  Decided I wanted to make up some miles today and went to agguirre springs in New Mexico.  I’m practically to Texas.  Basically straight drive no fun stops.

Camp was pretty, I don’t want to admit it but I tipped helga twice.  In the same damn spot.  She’s fine ahes tough, but my back is a little sore and I’m way embarrassed.  One of her stickers got scratched

So having net I decide to look into how to change my oil and discover the nifty BMW tool kit doesn’t have a big enough torque socket.  Then I look it up and see Helga can go 6k on an oild change per BMW.  I’m shipping that filter back home along with the esbit stove when I get to Sheffield .  Looks like I don’t have to do an oil change and that makes me happy.

The esbit smells and I’m just tired of it.   It smells like cancer and leaves black crap everywhere.   I’ll trade the space for more fuel for the alcohol stove.  Anyway, can’t find anything except an RV park io my route for tomorrow so I think I’ll just get a hotel.

 

The campsite is way windy and I saw a skunk again.  Good thing it’s easy to be noisy.
