Day 541 ~ Texas/New Mexico Border

FROZEN TUNDRA

A few days before Thanksgiving, I made a frantic run to the West Coast. But alas, I was trapped by a blinding snowstorm on the Texas/New Mexico border. I had no choice, but to hunker-down in a frozen truck stop, surrounded by 100 marooned truckers. Fortunately, I located an active power source, and I was able to keep warm and toasty throughout the night, with the aid of an electric blanket. ~* DW
