I was burning the midnight oil late one night on Facebook, when up popped a post telling of an oxygen generator for sale.  I jumped on it, and after a few quick notes back & forth - it was mine.  I had figured I could ask a good friend of mine to intercept it in a nearby (Arizona) town and bring it with them on their return trip to TX.  Things worked out differently than I'd hoped and I found myself planning a cross country trip with my son.  We left last Friday and made it to the Phoenix area AND back by Monday.

It was an amazing time shared with my youngest son - who had just learned to drive a stick shift...  A bit mind numbing - zipping along at 75mph on I10.  It allowed us to see a big part of the country we'd never before seen... and gave me time to impart some of those stored 'pearls of wisdom'.  This photo was taken at a rest stop area called Texas Canyon - where there were these amazing rocks HUGE teetering rocks. 

I went to pick up an oxygen generator, and that we did.  It filled the car and was crazy cargo to be hauling while going onto a military base in El Paso... don't you think this would cause some raised eyebrows by security at the gate??? They didn't bat an eye... 

Needless to say, the installation and learning curve that will follow are next to come - and I look forward to the extra boost it will allow my torch!  Staying put for a good while... over 2k miles driven is quite enough!!! smiles, Jill
