Today was just a day of travel with Jack was our navigator and Reg as our leader. We just followed along, stopping when they did! It was very relaxing travelling at only 60 mph. (Noel usually has to keep up with the big trucks just to prove that he can!)
We were running with a tail wind for the most part. We stopped for a short break about mid-morning and the wind was blowing from the side so hard that all three motor homes were rocking like we were boats in the sea!!! It continued like that for about 10 miles after we left the rest area and we talked about finding a place to pull over and wait it out but luckily, the road turned (or the wind did) and we were back to travelling with a tail wind.
The tail wind ended up saving us all some money!! We stopped for fuel at a Flying J just west of Oklahoma City and we found that we'd all gotten better than average fuel mileage!!
I messed up giving Noel directions when we left the Flying J and we wound up having to find a place to turn around before we caught up to the others about 10 miles down the road! I teased Noel that it gave him a chance to drive fast for a while!
We stopped for the day at a Wal-Mart in Salisaw, OK. 412.9 miles today.
We had a bit of a challenge wiggling our way through the parking lot and finding an empty spot big enough for us and the other 2 motor homes. Of course, as soon as we got parked, all three of us ladies headed for the Wal-Mart. Between the 3 of us, we probably spent more than what a campground would have cost!
We all got together in our coach to each our left-overs and to visit one last time for this season. Tomorrow, we'll head in different directions.
