Arkansas bound!

 Good evening from beautiful Henryetta, Oklahoma! We left home on Thursday the 12th to head for Arkansas and a quick trip! We headed out about 0620 which was the same time we left with Bryan and Cheryl on the 1st trip. Adam had come to spend a few days with us and he left then too. He was getting a new camper shell on his truck in Carson City.  

Our beautiful sunset tonight, Henrietta, Oklahoma

Adam's new camper shell on his truck. Not very impressed with Capitol Ford,
Carson City. They said they don't have wiring harness for the lights. Adam
needs to call Ford. Sorry, that's your job! They told him it didn't come with keys
for the back, also his job to call Ford! Adam found them on the hydraulic lifts. He loves the shell though. Especially the way he camps this is a major step up!



We're gone!!

Every time we go I'll take Cheryl a few boxes of wine as 
they live in a dry county. Once you find a liquor store (50 mile
round trip) Wine is ridiculous priced! $14.99 at Total Wine
compared to about 23.00 a box! 




Had a great drive to Seligman, AZ where we stayed in a KOA cabin. We wouldn't have been able to park the truck and trailer at any of their motels as they are Route 66 type motels. We did about 550 miles. 

We were on the swing until the sun went down, then it got cold!


The cabin was nice, more than we needed but it worked for the night. I took chicken, potato salad and salad for dinner. Breakfast burritos for the road in the morning. Sandwiches for lunch. Easy and we can make more miles. 

Anyone who knows us knows this isn't the way we like to travel. It used to take us 3 weeks to get to Don's house in Tennessee, but we don't have the time this time. Hopefully in November we can take our time. ๐Ÿ˜Š

We were up and out of the KOA at 0600. Burritos on the road. We spent Friday night in Tucumcari, NM in motel. Nice parking for the truck and trailer. Close to 600 miles were done yesterday. 

Brings back so many memories as kids. Most along the
highways are gone..This is the best preserved we've
seen. Moriarty, NM. Looks like it's a tire shop now. 



We left this morning about 0730. Then another time zone change as we crossed into Texas. We weren't too worried about it as we knew we weren't going as far today. 

We stopped at the Big Texan in Amarillo, because 
Ken wanted a new beer cozy 


We're in Henryetta, about a 460 mile day. We can see the truck and trailer right outside our window. This is a Super 8. I'd stay here again, as it's one story and a huge parking lot along with newly remodeled room! Great prices too. 

Mason, Chloe, Seth and Holly at the pumpkin patch! 

Christina went to Golden Sky Festival in Sacramento today. 
Got a few pics to share ๐Ÿ’– This is Christina and her brother

Christina and friends she went with...

Love this pic๐Ÿ’–


Tomorrow we'll be at Bryan and Cheryl's place. About a 250-260 mile day!I heard that he made Enchiladas and coleslaw for dinner tomorrow night ๐Ÿ˜Š

This will be a quick visit again because we've got Eric and family and friends Steve and Candy coming for Halloween weekend. There's a party going on at John and Karen's! Hopefully Diane and Jesse will make it too. 

Have a great evening! Happy Hour here in Oklahoma!๐Ÿท๐Ÿบ

  1. The Big Texan is a must stop for us as well when we are passing through that area. Last time we stopped it was Barb's birthday and she got a free meal!
