Third day of trip, Sunday, June 20, 2010.

After an earlier start, Sammy, once again, put the petal to the metal. Have I mentioned our gas mileage stinks? Our plan was to make it through a good portion of Texas today, and we did. Somewhere is Arkansas, the roadkill changed from raccoon to armadillo. The wind what was sweeping 'ore the plains didn't make for good driving. Of course, I didn't drive in the wind, I am just going by what Sammy says. The trees, or what few there are of them were leaning north in both Oklahoma and Texas from the wind constantly blowing them that direction. Sammy kept the steering wheel in a constant left position just to keep the RV straight. I asked him how it felt with the wind whipping us around then a big truck passing by pushing us and he said that is didn't make much difference. That wears me out just thinking about driving like that all day. Learning the secret to cooking in the camper. If you have to stand up while riding, keep your legs apart and your knees bent. That way, you can keep your balance as you go with the bouncing and swaying. Also, don't keep your dirty dish pan, with dirty dishes in it, on the countertop while in motion, unless you want your coffee cups broken. Also falling apart in the RV today was the curtain rod, a small metal support bar under an outside compartment and another compartment door was deformed. The door deformation was caused by the propane tank pressure relief valve releasing it's pressure while going down the road. It released three times while driving, but the first time we were all sure something had come loose and we were dragging. It was a horrible sound, but lasted only seconds. We bunked for the night at the Overnite RV Park in Amarillo, TX. The wind was blowing so hard, we felt like we were still moving.

Man, that sign was big.

These windmills are huge and I am pretty sure there are millions of them.

Made it all the way through Oklahoma today.
