    Kind of like Oklahoma

    April 30, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    Tom started the drive today while I researched housing (well maybe I should say "parking") options for tonight. We thought showers might be nice before arriving on Aunt Chris's footsteps tomorrow, so wanted an RV Park.
    Again another beautiful day! Our timing (weather-wise) has been fabulous... No rain, no storms, no blistering heat... And no tornados!
    Pulled off 40 at Shamrock, Texas because they have a great little Route 66 site, the Conoco Tower gas station and then U-Drop Inn cafe. Very distinctive and very well maintained. Really glad we made this quick stop.
    Then grabbed lunch at a cute little diner, the Farmhouse Cafe. I had to order the classic patty melt, it just felt like an appropriate choice on Route 66.
    Switched drivers and headed on into Oklahoma City. We actually enjoyed the drive, roads were a little bit better and the landscape and topography seemed more interesting than Texas. Overnighting at the Roadrunner RV Park, not bad for a park in the middle of an urban area. Still about 4 miles from downtown center. Nice walk with the pup and then reheated leftovers from our Cracker Barrel dinner the night before!
