Monday, Jan. 5, 2015 – Hay and Travel Day

Got up at the same time this morning, found another Dunkin Donuts across town where we picked up breakfast, then travelled to where my GPS said the location was, but we didn’t see any barn. Got Mike on the phone, and he guided us to the barn, which was at the west end of the same alley where we were at the east end, and before long, we were loaded up and ready to go, out by 10:30, a full half hour before we have figured. Hit the road again, next stop was for fuel, where Hubby was on fumes when we got to the gas station, but we wanted to stretch it as much as we could so we wouldn’t have to stop twice. Arrived at the Crocket County Fair Park in Ozona just as it was getting dark, but the person who was supposed to meet us as 7:00 didn’t arrive on time, so we were stuck leaving Clio in the alley until we finally had another guy offer us one of his stalls that wasn’t being used, which was fortunate because they were next to each other that way, and they settled down more quickly. There was some anxiety when there was a horse between them, though I’m sure they would have quieted down eventually. The stalls are only a block off the freeway, so it was noisy, so I’m expecting them to be cranky in the morning. By the time we got everyone settled, it was just before 8:00 and pitch dark, though the lights in the stalls evidently never go off. We were pretty tired, and got to bed fairly early.
