Monday, April 20: It's amazing how close this group of friends has become in such a short time. We've been together only since Thursday or Friday and it seems as if we have known each other for years. It may be because we are all anticipating this same border crossing and have been for many months now.
You may remember the mention of the repair theme. Since today is a free day for everyone to do as they please, it seems that one of the top necessities is for trailer repairs. Well, the Giffords tore the plumbing off the bottom of their trailer getting in the driveway and now they are worried about getting out. Oops, James' refrigerator doesn't work, they think the electric shorted out. Did Gus say none of his electric works? The sisters' trailer needs some repairs. Mike needs to help Nancy from Texas with something. I guess we're not the only ones who have some repairs to our living quarters.
The Mexican border is within sight of the Sheriff's Posse headquarters. You can see the tail end of the Rocky Mountains, the Franklin Range. At the top of one peak is a white cross, which is in a no man's land. It marks where 4 states come together, 2 United States and 2 Mexican states. On Easter, people from both countries are allowed to go to the top of that mountain in peace. The Mexican border is only one mile away.
So, tonight we're out of the dust bowl, to the club house for a lovely dinner with the posse members and their wives. A lovely social hour with live music and a generous dinner is being served by the posse members. Every meal in this state is served with chilis of one kind or another. Do you want red or green? Now that doesn't mean hot or mild, that just means ripe or not. But, whatever color they are be sure to have a glass of water nearby.
