2011/06/20 – Monday – Yes – Another Good Day of Driving

We got moving right on time – 9:00.


Our first stop was for gas and lunch at the Flying J’s in the west side of Oklahoma City.

We of course stopped at the first toll booth and paid $9.75.

Again today I was watching my tire temps and I slowed down again from my pace of 60 mph to 55 mph and that would drop the temp by 2 to 4 degrees.

Turquoise was pacing so a quick stop at the last picnic area on the toll road.

Once through Tulsa we got on another toll road and that also cost $9.75

We stop at the Flying J’s in Joplin – man the damage was a lot, but the place was running out of a trailer until they get the store fixed back up. That was the only real damage you see from the freeway.

Now we are at Springfield MO, KOA.

Cheryl made meatloaf for dinner in the 12v lunch box while we were driving down the road – mmmmm good!

I did two loads of laundry.

On the way back to the RV mom fell and broke and dislocate her right elbow – yep we unloaded the van and went to the hospital for a 5 hour tour.
