Days 2 & 3

Day 2 was from Little Rock to Oklahoma City. We stayed in a State Park on Lake Thunderbird. It was a day of travel only and we stopped early to charcoal a rib eye, fresh corn on the cob, and baked potato. There were speedboats on the lake and in past years I would have been wanting to be out there too, and maybe even rent a boat, but not today. About the only real thoughts I had on this day is that it seems a bit arrogant to put up a blog as few if any would even want to see it. However if my parents or any member of my family look at it then that alone would make it worth the effort. If not, then I have always considered a "diary" or a journal. Therefore this can be my journal for myself or grand kids, which also make it worth the effort, therefore it now exists.
Day 3 was a trip to the Oklahoma City Bomb Memorial. It was interesting, but not overpowering. There will be more photos at Http://picasaweb.google.com/kenheise
Then we traveled to Amarillo, TX and stayed at a KOA to have a WiFi connection, and the highway to it was Historic Route 66. After we passed a highway marker it hit me that we should do a photo op with the rig and us by the sign. I told David that I was stopping at the next sign, but there wasn't another. Now we have to decide whether to backtrack for a photo op, or continue and hope to see another at some point. Tomorrow we will probably cover the most miles so far as there is little to see between here and points 500 miles west unless we find something unexpected.
