The beginning of this week my boyfriend Chris and I took the road trip down to New Mexico to pick up Petunia. I won her off of eBay, had put down the deposit and it was on the road we went! We live in Denver and we had to pick her up from Lordsburg, New Mexico. It was about an 11 hour drive. Unfortunately once we got there her previous owner had some car troubles and we ended up waiting almost 2 hours until we were finally able to meet up. I was a little worried. I had already fallen in love with Petunia from her pictures. I knew she was going to take some work but I was up for the challenge. Plus 11 hours in a car for nothing would be really disappointing. But thankfully she got her tire fixed and after another 2 hours of fixing the brake lights that had just been vandalized (A story I would rather not re hash) we were back on the road and ready to get her back home!
(Crossing the border back into Colorado)
We immediately started our drive back home. Even though at that point it was 2 in the morning and we had been on the road since 11 AM the previous day. We were able to make it a few hours before we decided to pull off and sleep. So I can officially say I have camped in Petunia (even if it only was in the parking lot of an Aaron's some where off the highway in the middle of New Mexico). After a few hours of shut eye in the pouring rain we decided to finish our trip home. Petunia is going to be renovated at my home here in Denver but she will be making her way up to her permanent home in Loveland, Colorado after she's all spiffed up!
