We started out this morning really early. We had a very annoying high pitch screaming noise wake us up at 3:00 a.m. The noise was the converter box in the truck. Richard even unplugged it and it still was beeping. We decided to just go ahead and hit the road at 3:30. We listened to the beeping for a hour and it finally stopped. Richard pulled over at a Wal Mart because he could not hold his eyes open any longer. We slept from 5 til about 9 then got up and hit the road again. A hour down the road the beeping started again. Lets just say we had a HORRIBLE day! Richard finally disconnected the main power supply line, which put us without having any way to watch TV or charge our laptops, which is why I am so way behind on the blog.
