Historic Fort Stockton, Texas,
Your Crossroads to Adventure! Home of the World's Largest Roadrunner, Paisano Pete, 11 feet tall, 22 feet long... and fake! It's a STATUE! And those mountains look fake, too. What are they trying to pull? |

| Days 5, 6 and 7
The U-Haul's fuel system fails, is repaired. Then, at Sweetwater (home of the World's Largest Rattlesnake Roundup), Bob blows 2 tires. By the time he arrived in Dallas, Bob had racked up more trouble than any one person should have to tolerate during a move. Moses comes to mind. Lucky for us, Bob's daily disasters equaled daily radio fun! |
