But Mabey said he wants the old road back. "We've never wanted anything to do with that," he said. Dixon said he believes it's a fair compromise that would settle the dispute. Although the trial is just around the corner, Dixon said he's cautiously optimistic there can still be a set- letter from the city to Mabey. Dixon said the plaintiffs would likely be entitled to some damages but not millions of dollars.

I also saw Texas camels; now that was a little shocking, seeing about 10 camels off to the side of the road. Deanna kept falling asleep and waking up, wondering if we had actually moved. There are also strange road signs here. One said you aren't supposed to pick up hitchhikers beyond this point.

Bell and Davis also share a common excitement and fear about the unknown. Davis said she's ready to accept whatever is to come, but being prepared isn't necessarily the same thing.
