Kristie Stark (Host) of NYC tells Melissa Marshall (Cohost) about about how she drove her family through 14 states over 12 in the midwest. 
Kristie and her family join her mom and her uncle at the Taos, New Mexico for the Farmers Market. 
The trip takes a left turn when Kristie rips the awning off the motor home is the last hours of the trip while traveling through the I-95 in Maryland in the middle of the night. Thank god for Melissa's mom.


 I want to say I have a huge respect for any CDL type professional tractor truck driver - that job is the highest stressful level.
