Leg 1

Started from Interstate 10 MM 800 at 14:30 way of crow flies. Actually took Highway 90 to Interstate 10 West.  After bouncing over the big RR tracks in Dayton I remembered I left the ramp loose in the Jeep backend😂 a pull off to fix that before it flew off and hurt someone. FML

Stopped at Buc-cees MM 739 at 16:10 to fill up (not sure if the gas gauge is working🤔) but couldn’t find a level spot. The parking assist ain’t working so it rolls. I can’t put the brake on and chock at the same time 🤬 Therefore I improvised….used my camera tripod to wedge on the brake while I hopped out to put chock. Got my adrenaline going cause it started rolling as I had the chock in my hand😱 thought #TheBeast was gonna roll over it! Found out Daisy jumped on the driver seat and knocked my wedge off! Whew

Started on the busy expressway and the damn door flew open! 🤬 OMG thought Willy was gonna jump out the door! I was screaming at the poor dude until I pulled it over. Back on the road, I’ll be damned if it didn’t do it again😱….This time I double locked and bungee cords it💭

Pulled off at MM639 at rest area to get my bearings and chill out before proceeding. Forgot what a beautiful Texas sunset looked like.
