Great place to end this episode, James. 18 mile treck alone in the desert? Not for me, Brother. At least he was on a road, but I assume one with little traffic. He seems to be well prepared. Maybe Border Patrol will give him a lift. I have been fortunate not to have suffered a breakdown while driving in the desert. I knew you would get some adventure into this tale. Loving the character and the plot so far.

The highway south out of Robles Junction to Sasabe at the border is a lonely stretch, but a main route for illegals. Car once overheated near Death Valley, just let her cool off and continued on my way. Thank you, K.C.!

Go Jimmy Swann! Maybe the patrol car will take him the first 10 miles! That would be an unexpected twist.

Nice one man. Got a little chill there when he heard his wife's voice.

Hope the cop doesn't cancel Jimmy's trip.

Thanks, Jim. I'm not sure how it will go. I think he is a good cop.
