Since
there was so much truck traffic moving around the Truck
Stop last
night we did what was necessary to sleep, we used our Ear
Plugs.
Talk about a peaceful night’s sleep. It
wasn’t until I told Kathy it was time to get rolling that she woke
up. After making a quick breakfast and closing up to travel we were
soon back on I-40
heading to our next southwestern adventure.
We
didn’t stop until 1:00 in Clinton,
Oklahoma where
it
seemed that everyone with a small car had to use the One
Pump
capable of Dispensing
Diesel.
After we were finished there we found a Wendy’s
to have the same things we normally have back Home.
Even thought there is a lot of the old Route
66 that
ran through this city there are also a few Museums
giving
more information about it. Something we might spend more time
investigating the next time we are in the area.
It
almost feels like we haven’t
been
able to
get warm and that the Cold
Air
has followed us from Home.
When Kathy looked at the Local
News
for our Home
Town
today it showed they had their First
Snowfall of
the season but luckily it melted.
Back
on the
Highway
we talked about going to an RV
Park
in Amarillo
that
we’ve stayed at Three
Times in
the past. We planned on getting cleaning, laundry and warm showers.
It
was just before 5:00
CST
when we arrived only
to
be told they were full up and so were the rest of the RV
Parks
in the area. When all else fails we headed up the road to the local
Walmart.
There were already a dozen RVs
parked most not having tried to get in the parks.
We
walked over to What-a-Burger
to have supper. Being that it
was
our first time at that chain, we were pleasantly surprised and will
probably go back in the future.
After
getting permission from Walmart
to stay the night we did some walking around. Kathy finally bought
her first Christmas
Gifts
for 2019
but
promises she’s cutting back this year. It seems what we can
purchase in the southwest this year won’t be on the shelves back
Home
until next fall. And since we give the Gifts
at our Merry
Thanksmas Celebration in
October we
are ahead of the game.
Today
was our longest travel day this season logging in 304.7
Miles
and
we were trying to cut back. Where have we heard that before? Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and
Enjoy!
It’s about time.

I haven't even given much thought to Thanksgiving never mind buying gifts for this Christmas. You go Kathy. Hope you find a RV Park tomorrow
ReplyDeleteIt seems the rush to warmer territory is on! I always try to stop around 3:00 in order to get a camping spot.
ReplyDeleteWe plan on about 200 miles a day and then pick a spot to stop in that area before pulling out in the morning. That gives us plenty of time in case there is an issue with overnight parking. It also allows us to keep rested for multiple travel days in a row. Just a thought.
