Thursday, May 1
And home we went. It wasn’t raining anymore; partly
sunny with a wind out of the south. Quite nice, actually, except that my feet
got wet and stayed that way.
The lakes going through Oklahoma were very high and very much the color of
puke. But note that the road got nice
after we passed through Eufala. So maybe 69/75 isn’t so impossible in future.
During the last couple of hours we started having odd electrical problems—the backup camera wouldn’t work and the batteries were draining. After we got home, Ed discovered that the master switch—inconveniently located right by the door—was flipped off. No wonder! But how in the world could that have happened…? If a person were carrying a heavy bag then he might have hit the switch, but we hadn’t been going in or out of the door carrying anything. Is it possible that Molly hit it when we went out for a break at the truck stop? Did we even go out at the truck stop?
Anyway, that’s fixed and the trip is over. Looking back over the last many days, I declare it to have been a great trip. Except for my leg issues, all of the cancellations, and all of the rain on last few days. We didn’t sit outside nearly as much as usual, due to being in motorhome parks and the weather being chilly at first. It’s the price I pay for scheduling a trip during spring migration. (and worth it!)
TRIP NOTES
1. Never ever plan four days of traveling in a row.
2. Don’t be a afraid to make trips a few days longer if there are cool places to go and things to see. You don’t have much time left!
3. Bring sauerkraut. And more spinach for breakfasts.
4. Try really hard to avoid RV parks that don’t have dog parks.
5. Always take the binoculars on Molly’s morning walks.
6. For now and forever, avoid taking I-70 westbound through Indiana. In fact, we may want to avoid Indiana entirely. Other than the nice KOA, there's not much point to it.
