Still on the road

West Memphis, AR

We traveled 618 miles today. It was a lovely
warm sunny day. We had a picnic at a rest stop
before we left Oklahoma. It was very nice,
large with walking paths and large trees.

I had a minor tragedy with my knitting. The
cable came off one needle. I dropped about 50
stitches. I have rescued them, but it'll
take a new needle and patience to be sure
I have them all. Argggg.

On the road

We headed out this morning heading for OK City.
We made it as far as Shamrock, TX, where we are now.

We stopped many times,hence we are not in OK City.
One stop was just south of Eads, CO. It's a wild life refuge.
We have camped there many times in the RV under
a row of Cottonwood trees not far from the lake. What a
shock, the trees are dead and only 10% of the lake is left.
It is so dry and barren we were shocked!

We had lunch in a park in Springfield, Co. It was very windy
and about 75 F. This is November.

We listened to "Halsey's Typhoon" a story that was
classified top secret until recently. A WWII story.
It's a horrendous tale of a horrendous storm.

I knitted, too. That really helps the time go by.
The scenery is not great on this route.

We have a lovely room' a window that opens and
although their wireless is down they gave me a cable
get on the Internet the "old" way.
