OXNARD, Calif. – So there we were, just one more night, one more stop and we’d have triumphantly arrived here on Sunday evening, having completed Road Trippin’ 2015 without a major hitch.
Just another 170 miles.
But noooo, about 9:30 Saturday night, not far from the exit to Palm Springs, Calif., we’re standing behind the Cowboys bus on the side of I-10, traffic whipping by with speeds seemingly equal to the winds sweeping across the desert, flashlights and cell phone flashlight apps in hand, beaming down on the belt compartment to the overheated Cowboys bus engine.
