I made much better time then I expected this morning. We left the South at 0400 and hauled ass. Made a brief stop (somewhere…) for catfish sandwiches. The temperature was well over a hundred on I-40 heading West and we were slow-cooking with the windows down.
Currently hunkered down in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We found a great motel coming into town that had everything needed: A/C, Continental Breakfast, etc… Steph just fed me Beanie Weenie and a tuna-fish sandwich, there’s a torrential rain/thunder storm happening, and we ain’t going anywhere tonight.
We traveled 650 miles today. We still have 1200 miles to go. The scheme is to shoot North from here, hit I-70 to Denver and then come in the back way through Jackson.
I also need to get Jill an oil-change tomorrow morning. This girl is cruising magnificently and I’m looking forward to parking her in our garage and letting her cool off for a bit…
Ha! It was someplace off of somewhere and I was cooking up a sleeping Steph in the hot canopy but the little old ladies in this small diner did it up right!
Hope you make good time. Grandpa use to catch catfish. I use to eat it but I can’t remenber what they taste like. 60 odd years ago. Glad you found a good place for the night. Was so good to hear from you.
