The Leaf and Bean Company

So jim and clarence continue on their journey, thru New Mexico and now in texas.  He made it to Van Horn, TX and found a nice lil' town for the evening.  All was well and they headed out from there.............they made it about, i don't know exactly, a couple hours maybe, when clarence's gas pedal got stuck to the floor going top speed, of 45 miles an hour...........We think it was top speed,  because at this point clarence's odometer and speedometer do not work and we really have no clue!!!  Jim had to use his extra cell phone for emergencies and called home to the leaf and bean to the rescue.  We called AAA for them with the approximate whereabouts of  the traveling duo.  They were found and towed, and did something i have never seen jim do in all of our travels.....................they had to turn around and go back to the town they started from that morning.  They got there around lunch time and were made to wait outside the locked gates until after lunch hour..............  So jim pulled out his lounge chair and book and waited............After that they fixed the spring under the gas pedal and were off once again the same road out of town as before!!!  The pictures below are taken at variious stops along the way,  Columbus, NM (where they got the fuel line fixed), pecos river, El Paso, tex -mex border, and then being towed back to Van Horn...............until next update, peace and safe travels...........................
