We Have our own Little Caravan!

WHERE ARE WE? Great Bend, Kansas

I tried to get us on the road by 9 but 10 came and went and we were still hanging around camp.  Ed and Lessie came for coffee and the chatter got away on us.  We said our goodbye's and pulled out about 10:30.  We have 2000 kms to go to get home and we need to cross the border on Monday morning so we have to average 500 kms a day to get there.



First stop was for some fuel.  Its going to be an expensive trip with 2 thirsty motorhomes to feed fuel to!!!  We figured we might as well both be full to start with.  Sheri acted as the fuel jockey and did a good job of getting us filled up.



She had a supervisor as well.

We followed Route 66 for a while and Dani got lots of pictures.




I got out the old paper atlas to figure out our route today.  It seems easier to be able to see the whole picture rather than a small map on the phone.  


We saw green grass, cobblestone streets and even trees growing out of things in our travels today.  The winter wheat will be turning soon in northern Texas and some of Oklahoma.  It brings back memories of when I did the custom harvesting run here in the states for 4 years in the late 60's and early 70's.   




So we just drove today.  We love to just go short distances each day but we seem to get to the point where we have to boogie to meet our schedule!!  We almost got our 500 kms today!!! We will do that for the next couple days and then we can have a break for the whole summer.  That's it for today.  Good Nite!!!

Our trip today.

  1. Continue safe travels. We have been through El Reno several times, there is a casino there that has about a dozen RV hook ups. It's first come first serve that we have stayed at several times.
