Today, we will pass the 5,000 Mile Mark on our Trip; that is 138 hours in the truck! We also setup the next leg of our trip from South Padre Island to Tucson, AZ. Heading for Lake Havasu we think. Maybe go back to the Grand Canyon.

The turtles are having big problems with the cold weather / water. They get “Cold Stunned” and can not move. Turtles are in danger of drowning. At this point over 4,500 turtles were saved and taken to the sanctuary. Pam tried to to volunteer, but they had too many. We have see people on the shore lines looking for turtles.

The Texas storm was crazy. Huge power losses and water outages across the state. We were very lucky to be in our Airstream with our own water, propane and batteries. Temperatures dropped below freezing here for about 36 hours. That was enough to freeze water lines and cause lots of problems.
We only lost power for 12 hours due to a rolling blackout. But the stores are running out of everything fresh.

Greg, Rita, Pam and I drove to the SpaceX Center and Launch Pad. It is 5.3 miles from our Airstream, but 39 miles to drive. It is amazing how close we could get to the Launch Pad and SN10 (Serial Number 10). There was debris on the side of the road from the last rocket explosion from SN9. We picked up some carbon fibers. How cool is that!
We hope to go back when it is sunny later this week. SN10 may take off before we leave on March 1st. Hoping we get to see another launch.

We had a fun filled day. Went to the Bird Sanctuary followed by the Turtle Rescue Center. We went on a Sunset Dinner Sail followed by drinks and live music at Longboard Bar. All in all a great day.
