NOT ACCORDING TO PLAN AT ALL! or Texas never ends.

Well it was an easy ride to Port Isabel, Texas.
And as I made to cross the long causeway over to South Padre Island and spend a leisurely day at the campground.
My brand new drive chain parted! So there I was, stranded, with no shoulder on a bridge stretching off into the fog with no sight of land.

After AAA decided to take their sweet time, the sheriff showed up. Thankfully securing my lane of traffic and calling in a local tow truck. After some speedy pondering I decided to have them drop me off at the campground anyway.

So, here I sit. In this off season beach resort town, playing bingo with the "Winter Texans"
I've ordered a new chain, and have a couple days to sit here, and ponder what happened and what I'll be doing next.






What new hell is this?
