Escape From Ozona

We Finally were able to escape from Ozona (aka middle of nowhere). Finding the damaged fuel line and replacing it took about 3 hours, add a day lost for the weekend, half a day lost having the part shipped from civilization, a day lost because the wrong part was sent, a day lost because the repair shop manager forgot to reorder it, and half a day lost because after getting repaired and going 25 miles down the road the alternator went out and we had to go back and have that replaced. At least that only took about an hour. I am sure the alternator problem was partially caused by the other work, but it was also 12 years old.
If you do the math you can see it takes 4 days to do 4 hours worth of repairs in Ozona. At least I wasn't doing it, the mechanic was working outdoors in about 30 degree weather. We were staying in their lot so the rent was free. As nice a vacation spot as Ozona is, we left without looking back on Thursday morning.
We are now in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Tonya's cousin Marcus (and his wife Yvonne) live here so we stopped to visit. They had plans tonight so we are going to breakfast with them in the morning before continuing west.
