Jeff maintains and protects some of the guitars and amps that belonged to the late Donnie Morse, and this day began with an inspection of some of that equipment, including this fine Rickenbacker "Tom Petty Signature" 12-String... |

As I was about to set out for San Antonio, Jeff suddenly realized that I was forgetting something important... |

I said farewell to Jeff as he stood by the Reagan wall... |
A little place called Hamburger Dan's
I heard that old jukebox start a playin'
That song about a truck drivin' man
Well the waitress then brought me some coffee
And I thanked her and called her again
I said that old song there sure does fit me
Cause I'm a truck drivin' man
So pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And put another nickel in the jukebox
And play that Truck Drivin' Man
Then I climbed back aboard my old semi
Then like a flash I was gone
I heard them old truck wheels start a rollin'
I'm on my way down San Antone
So pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And put another nickel in the jukebox
We gonna play a little Truck Drivin' Man
Gonna play that Truck Drivin' Man

Crossing the Nueces River. The route that I was following southward from San Antonio toward the Rio Grande River would have been close to the route taken by the Hat Creek Cattle Co. in Lonesome Dove, as they set out northward from the Rio Grande River to San Antonio and on to Montana. In Lonesome Dove, the Nueces River crossing is where Sean, the young Irish fellow, was done-in by a swarm of water moccasins... |

I reached the Camino Colombia after nightfall and made camp north of downtown Laredo... |
