When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a ¡°fresh start¡±. ª¥

At the ___31___ of Palo Duro Canyon(Ï¿¹È£© State Park, I ___32___ a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a ___33___, permanent campsite in the park, and ___34___, the hosts served as a link between the park¡¯s guests and the rangers(»¤ÁÖÈË£©. It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an ___35___ for the following day. ª¥

The park was ___36___, so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks(³ô÷ø£© walking toward our table. We ___37___ climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to ___38___ our camp. ª¥

Having survived that night, we were ___39___ that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our ___40___ and gave us a beautiful campsite. ª¥

That evening, ___41___, we learned about the canyon ___42___. They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay ___43___ in the dark until the winds died away.

___44___ the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and ___45___ the little money my wife ___46___ by substitute teaching. Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful ___47___. For a time after our business ___48___ I thought I might lose my family as well. ª¥

Living in the tiny ___49___ with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky, I found myself ___50___ for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls. We had become a family!
