Leaving Smith Center…

Darren and Curtis finished up working on the rig about 11:30 and we hit the road. Our plan now is to meander to Livingston, Texas and we need to get there next Tuesday. Can’t get there earlier Monday as that is the holiday and no one will be there to orient us for our new positions and our site, during our stay is reserved from Tuesday on. Linda looked at points of interest, on Co-Plot (our GPS system) for areas around our route south and we planned some stops; otherwise we will just drive a little each day to break up the next five days till we get there. Tonight we are in McPherson, Kansas where we will go to the Motorcycle Museum in the morning. Then from here we’ll go to Oklahoma City to see the Memorial from the Oklahoma bombing at the Federal building. This is something that I really want to see. I think it will be even harder to comprehend, once I see it, then it was to hear about it on the news; at the time it took place. When you travel through this vastness out here, it is hard to imagine how such a heinous act could have happened in middle America. I will write more tomorrow about that. In Oklahoma City there is also a Camping World store that we will stop at. Kind of a Wal-Mart for campers.
Speaking of Wal-Mart, that is where we have stopped for the night. Bought some groceries, will play some cards and will go to sleep with a Kansas breeze blowing through the RV….it will be a wonderful night for sleeping.
