In order to head southwest to the Arizona desert, I first
headed northwest to Amarillo, Texas. My daughter, sister, and mother all live
in Amarillo, and I wanted to spend some time with them before I headed into the
desert for several months.
I arrived on Saturday
evening, November 15th, and awoke to snow on Sunday morning. I realized after I got up that I had left my “personal hygiene box”, containing shampoo, deodorant,
toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. in the car, so I went outside, and started down the exterior stairs to get my stuff. As it turns out the footing
was slippery and treacherous, and I fell…hard…right on my tailbone. I spent several days hobbling around, and
making some revisions to Tiny Trailer (I added fenders, which are not required
for a trailer that size in Texas, but might be elsewhere, and I didn’t want to
find out where required, alongside a road, illuminated by red and blue flashing lights).
I also put together the components of my solar electrical system (more on that
next post)
I had a really nice visit with my family (we had early
Thanksgiving and Christmas, since I would not be back until almost spring), and
on November 22nd, I headed southwest through New Mexico to Arizona.
