It was a cool night, 34f (1C) at 5 am and frost on the ground and car. But we toasty warm, good for sleeping. Got our morning coffees and emails done, a nice walkabout then we secured the coach and headed on out down the road to Oklahoma, no rush just 252 miles today. We put in some long travel days to get here and our windows done, now we will cut back a bit for some more relaxing travel days and enjoy some new scenery and hopefully warmer weather. And a wonderful travel day it was, sunshine, very little wind, not much traffic and no rains. What more can we ask for?

| now here for a few more days |
 |
| We getting ready soon to secure the coach and hit the road |
 |
| nice quiet roads 8:30 Saturday morning |
Then a some cross country back roads also very nice and quiet, just bogeying right along.
Saw this sign and thought of the Music Group the Monkey's (Take the Last train to Clarksville") guess we missed it did not see the train!
Not far from Oklahoma we stopped at a rest area for a stretch about 11:30 . Perfect time to make a bite to eat for lunch. And we parked right behind this classic Airstream Trailer and talked to the owner for a few minutes . It is a 1959, he has it almost completely restored , did and amazing job and polished it to a wonderful shine. He put it on a 2013 chassis and rebuilt the inside over the last 4 years , most of it original, restored . He is from Maryland, heading to southern Arizona to store it and the truck. He will fly back home and then him and his wife will fly back down to Arizona after Christmas , to enjoy some boondocking in the southwest.

A little further down the we road stopped at the Oklahoma Welcome centre/rest area. Love these picnic table pavilions below.
2 pm we arrived at the Terra Starr Rv park in Checotah Oklahoma and checked in, it is one of our membership parks (Coast to Coast) we will be at for 3 nights. $13.50 a night for full hookups, (30 amps) thats all we need, 50 amps a buck a night more. We will just chill here, looks like good sunny weather for 3 days, so we will take full advantage of it.
