TUCUMCARI, N.M. -- A 77-year-old Minnesota woman says she's not mad at her husband for leaving her behind as they traveled through New Mexico.
Regina Vogt said it was "just a misunderstanding."
But she says she was really surprised to walk out of a Wal-Mart and discover the motor home she and her husband arrived in was gone.
Lloyd Vogt says he drove off, thinking she was sleeping in the back.
The retirees had stopped at the store last week on their way home to Rochester, Minnesota. They went in separately and never ran into each other.
Mrs. Vogt settled in at the store's snack bar and waited, while police put out an alert for her husband.
Hours later, state police spotted the motor home on a street in Tucumcari , where it had run out of fuel.
State police arranged a 3-car relay to reunite the couple.
Nice try. Gotta fill up the gas tank first next time.
--welllll-then there's the tale (urban legend, IIRC) about the guy sleeping in his camper who awakened, stepped out nude and half-asleep--only to watch his camper, driven by his wife, drive away from the stoplight--
Suprised he remembered to breath regularly.
If the old guy was a hot young chick, Greta would have given a whole hour to the story.
I remember that one. The wife hangs out in the Wal-Mart snack counter....
