There is absolutely nothing to write about today. The ride was boring, the scenery was boring and I forgot to put my memory card back into my camera after posting yesterday's blog, so I have no pictures to share either! Sorry, some days just don't go the way you want them to!
We left Emporia about 8:45 AM. We immediately hit the Kansas Turnpike and for the next sixty-six miles the scenery was flat farmland, no billboards, and nothing exciting going on in the landscape! I can certainly understand why tornados raise havoc in this part of the country! Wide open spaces provide lots of room for tornados to touch-down!
It wasn't long before we were in Oklahoma, and we did our utmost best to get through Stillwater (OSU) and Norman (OU), Oklahoma as quickly as possible - before they saw our Longhorn emblem on our truck!
The traffic today was a little hectic at times, but once we got through the major cities, things settled down. Clearly it wasn't as bad as driving the RV through downtown San Francisco, but driving through Oklahoma City was a little crazy!
We are now in Ardmore, Oklahoma and will hopefully cross the Texas state line in the morning! We will stop at the Casita manufacturing plant in Rice, TX to pick up some replacement parts for the RV. Then we will head to Arlington, TX to spend some time with our son Gary who is a middle school Principal in Dallas.
Even tho we are close to the end of this leg of our journey, we are already looking forward to the next trip, which, as I stated in yesterday's blog, will begin in August. Yes, we are anxious to once again sleep in our big bed , have the dogs roam their own yard without being on a leash, and preparing meals in our kitchen which is bigger than a 2x3 foot space! However, we will miss the excitement of discovering what lies around the next bend in the road, and we will miss the opportunity to meet new people. We have been blessed to have this opportunity to travel, and trust the Lord will continue to look over us as we continue the journey down the road!
Tomorrow is another day!
