A very long day of travel across Texas and Oklahoma. It's not because I'm from Kansas that I say this, but I really don't want to go through Texas or Oklahoma again. I can't get on my soap box on this blog (says Donna), but the United States is changing.
Saw a couple of long trains transporting military vehicles - all painted desert beige. Had never seen that kind of train before. Hopefully, one of the pictures turned out ok and I'll upload it.
We stopped for lunch in Dill City, Oklahoma, thinking for sure every small town has a City Park. After driving around town for a while, we gave up and parked by a deserted building on main street. Fired up the generator to power the air conditioner (it was 100 degrees), and ate our sandwiches. As we left town, we passed a cute little city park - it would have been too hot to eat outside anyway.
Did you know the home of Johnny Bench is in Binger, OK? Well, neither did we. By the way, Henryetta, OK is the home of Troy Aikman. We're staying at the KOA in Checotah (home of Carrie Underwood - American Idle Winner). So, I guess some good things come from Oklahoma.
We'll be at Steve's mom for a couple of days and then some time at Donna's folks, so don't expect a blog update until about the 4th. Oh, by the way, we're having problems finding places to stay this next weekend. Something about a holiday.
