Where are we today ?
Very warm over night, windows open and about 50 f at 5 am gotta love it! Got nice walkabouts done then secured the coach and on the road at 8:15am gonna take some back roads with more scenery.

| wonderful sunrise this morning |
Head a bit north east enjoying the countryside and a few small towns.

Marietta Ok water tower
and town hall |
Wonderful country road, but no rest areas or places to stop and we had side winds most of the day 20-30 mph so a bit slower. But I did get a good upper body workout today ! Bonus.

Love this 1933 Hot Rod in front of us
at an intersection |
More interstate like roads but still no rest areas just moving right along.
A Flying J right on our route as we crossed I-40, we like to fuel up there for the RV lanes and the fuel discount with our Good Sam card. $1.72.9 for gas . Then while there Suzie craved a pizza slice for lunch. Pretty good deal 2 slices for 5 bucks, Did the trick, they are huge!

| That's a big lunch for us but we did it |
A bit more back roads that were very rough and finally arrived here at Eagle's Landing in Grove Oklahoma. Just before 3 pm. Used to be Bear's Den but new owners doing a great job fixing the place up !
New owners renovating, washrooms almost done, looking wonderful. This another membership park so no overnight fees for us. 30 or 50 amp hookups and we could stay for 2 weeks if we wanted. Love these parks! Also includes free cable tv and free wifi at the clubhouse.
The old swimming pool is being dug up, new one will be wheel chair accessible.

all set up relaxing in the warm sun
got some reading time in |
Soon time for supper. Tonight some pan fried tilapia fillets to add to a tasty salad.
 |
| sure did the trick again |

| 285 miles today |
That was a pretty decent travel day, we had planned in staying here for 4 nights but decided on only 3. We have a few long travel days ahead and would like do 2 nights on the road instead of just one.
Thanks for stopping by again, always nice to hear from you, And hope you had a wonderful day as well.

You're in 'tornado alley' and making good time! Enjoy,
ReplyDeleteSafe Travels!
Now to take it easy for a bit the tornado shelter is just 50 yards away from us.
DeleteCrikey ..... you sure are on the move these days, aye?? Mum's always wanted to go to Oklahoma. Ever since she saw the movie. It's one of her all time favourites. She had to sing the song to know how to spell it.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful part of the country.
DeleteWe like to enjoy the journey more so than travelling all day long everyday.
Yep, we had the cross winds today too but they were way better today than yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThe renovations on the bathrooms there look great!

They are doing a very nice job cleaning up this park.
DeleteLove the Flying J RV lanes. They are our first choice to fuel, sometimes it seems we hop from Flying J to Flying J.
ReplyDeleteWe like to plan our travels that way, so much easier to fuel up in the Rv lanes and usually lots of space too.
DeleteWe were amazed the first time we had Flying J pizza. It is really good. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good for the price and a nice change too.
DeleteWe've heard about a huge prairie fire in OK. Have you seen anything of it? Going off the Interstate makes for nice driving, but drawback is no rest areas.
ReplyDeleteNo sign of fires here yet.
DeleteWe do like the rest areas just off the road, lotsa room just to get out and stretch every hour or so makes the journey much nicer.
Other than wind, your journey seems to be rolling quite well. Hope your good weather holds.
ReplyDeleteYep it is going great !
DeleteWe hate those cross winds. They are not fun to drive in for sure. Not having rest areas means we stop for fuel more often than needed just so we have a place to walk around and stretch the legs.
ReplyDeleteThe winds are bothersome yes. And to stretch the legs really keeps us fresh and loosened up.
DeleteA couple of cool looking water towers in there, love 'em! Looks like you are really motoring but I'm happy to see relaxing time in there as well as Suzie in shorts still!! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought they were pretty cool as well.
DeleteStill pretty decent weather, calling for rain today at some point but still pretty warm.
From your pictures it looks like a nice drive, except for cross wind, you are taking back to Canada with some beautiful scenery. Nice to be able to take your time and enjoy the time. We are slowly heading east and will probably not head north until Tennessee. Happy Travels.

It was a very nice drive, and we enjoy the scenery along the way,
DeleteYou guys have a safe journey as well.
