The day started with a lot of stress and emotion. It would seem that even though the incident the other day was really just a flat tire (sort of) it opened a can of worms. Still, I got on the road and had an uneventful trip to Elk City OK. I try to keep driving to less than 200 miles a day but finding a good RV park pushed me to 266 miles which ended up being over 5 hours with one stop, and one gas fill up.
Right now I tend to respond to each little vibration by becoming super vigilant – sometimes you just gotta laugh: I’m driving across I-40 and I’m getting some movement in the RV. I checked gauges, the rear camera, mirrors, etc. but found nothing out of place. Then I thought it might be cross wind, and wondered until I looked off to the right. The tip off was 3 rows deep of an unending line of electric generation windmills, all positioned to pick up a cross wind. Grin
Also, you know you are driving in Oklahoma when the Rest Area list of amenities reads: Restrooms, water, vending machines, tornado shelter.
Tomorrow I’m off to Eufaula Oklahoma, then Morilton Arkansas, followed by Memphis on Thursday. I’ll be staying there for 4 days checking out the Blues clubs (yea, Graceland too) and other attractions. Then I’m off for 2 weeks in Nashville. That will be nice because I will finally be someplace long enough for Jill to forward mail and packages and to by a new laptop as this one is really on its last bit.
Oh, before I go, catch this shot of the 2 trailers next to me. First this beautiful tear drop pulls in and then just next to it the smallest model of the Escape fiberglass unit. Both are trailers I considered when I started planning this life.
Also attached is a distant shot of Freedom sitting under a tree in the Tucumcari KOA.
