New Mexico or Bust (Bust It Is)

Well, our trip to New Mexico January 3rd to prospect the desert for some gold didn't go as planned. Doc had helped me get the Gold Hog Mini all setup as a recirculate system, but we never got to use it. About 400 miles from Houston, Texas in a small town located on I-10 West a strong crosswind hit us and flipped the toy hauler and our truck over on it's side. The toy hauler pretty much disintegrated on impact and I had prospecting equipment all over the side of the freeway. Somehow the trailer swung around and hit the side of the truck and we went spinning down the freeway and ended up facing the oncoming traffic. Lucky for us an 18 wheeler behind us saw what was happening and was able to stop in time and keep others from hitting us as well. I was able to recovery all the major items except the Generator and the Wagon which were damaged beyond repair. The insurance companies have totaled the toy hauler and the GMC Truck. Claudia will be getting a newish truck and as far as the trailer - NO MORE TOWING TRAILERS FOR US - back to tent camping, lol. We were able to walk away with only a few scratches and sore bodies. I have enclosed some pictures of crash scene for your enjoyment, lol.
