TX to OK

Sunrise was at 7.30 am (even though it was 6.30 am for us) so got to see the beautiful colours in the sky.  It’s still windy and there are still those damn flies so we are out of here.

On the road by 10am and heading south to join the I 40 East.  A lot of this road is actually Route 66 and we see a few signs alluding to that.

Then we pass the road sign to Amarillo, so of course that starts us singing....

Is this the way to Amarillo?  Neil Sedaka maybe?

This land is flat, we can’t see any hills in any direction and it is windy, I guess that is why we see numerous wind farms dotted in between the crops and the odd oil rocking horse, some in action and some not.

Short stop at Shamrock for Maccas - again, still in Texas but only it’s another 15 miles further until we cross the state line into Oklahoma.  No ‘welcome to’ sign, what’s with that Oklahoma?

We stop at the Visitors Centre a couple of miles in and pick some info on what to do and where to do it in Oklahoma.

We have sussed a place to stay tonight - Elk City Lake Park which has five RV parks complete with power and its free, or you can offer a donation but I don’t know where you pay!  However it is still very windy, but warm, 30C and no flies!

The new awning over the curb side back slide has come off again so Kim is up the ladder trying to sort it out.  There is nothing holding it on, no screws, nothing.  He takes the whole thing off and phones Demontrond to find out by what method should it be affixed.  Sent photos and have a promise that they will get back to us with answers by 10am tomorrow.

The wind dies after dinner so might go for a wander and see what else is here, apart from the lake which we can see directly out of our front windscreen.  There are picnic shelters, concrete picnic tables and grills too. Then we are treated to another fabulous sunset.
