Sand Creek

We pack up and leave Wagoner and head west. The landscape is mostly farm land with cattle grazing. I see my first long horn cattle and they look mean! It is mostly flat here and you can see how tornadoes get their ground. We are dodging storms all the through Oklahoma! The skies look threatening and we have rain and lightning all the way. Later we find out that they had 4300 lightning flashes in 15 minutes today. Yikes! We aren’t storm chasers (maybe storm run way-ers) and don’t want to be! The roads also leave something to be desired as well. We are jostled around and the going is a little slower.

We stop at our first Cracker Barrel today for some lunch/dinner. Cracker Barrel is a country store and restaurant chain that is all over the U.S. They have good food at reasonable prices and usually have some neat things to pick up in their store. (Christmas is coming and I start now! Tee hee!)

After a long drive we get to our KOA for the night. It is still raining! This is only a one night stand as a stop over to Texas. This is a smaller KOA, but it has all the conveniences required. I head over and do a load of laundry and come back to book some more campsites. We are now good through to the end of May. I have some breathing room now and much calmer. We have a relaxing evening and head off to bed.

Tomorrow we are off to Texas and will be stopping for three whole days. There will be more pictures and stories to tell you then.Read more
