Hi everyone...
Some of you have requested a blog, so here you go. This is my first attempt at blogging so please be kind!! :-)
We have been planning this trip for such a long time. It's so hard to believe we're finally doing it!
Before we left, our grandson, Chuckie, drew us this awesome cartoon of Chuck and me riding on our motorcycle being chased by a bear. Is he talented or what???
This is Day 5 of our trip and so far, there's not been too much to blog about. Other than Saturday evening (5/22) when we left, the weather has been beautiful and HOT....in the 90's. Than
k goodness we have A/C in the motor home and that it works!!The scenery is beautiful....serene and peaceful....lots of corn fields and cattle farms. Yesterday we drove through the Ozarks. I44 actually looked a lot like Route 28 with a lot of rock formations along the sides of the road. Historic Old Route 66 actually runs parallel to I44 so every now and again you'd see an old General Store still in operation. Probably the most exciting thing we've seen so far is the view of the Arch as we drove past St. Louis.
We've been enjoying just relaxing, stopping for picnic lunches at some of the beautiful rest areas and camping overnight at some of the most beautiful campgrounds we've ever been to.
We are currently in Carthage, Missouri which is about 18 miles from the Oklahoma border. Today, we're going to travel on Old Route 66 to Claremore, Oklahoma, which is just NE of Tulsa, to spend the day with friends who have a ranch there. Hopefully, I'll have some cool pics to post tomorrow.
