Three 300-mile driving days from La Feria, TX toward Iowa

 73 degrees and overcast at our RV park southwest of Stratford, OK on Longmire Lake at 5:30 pm Sunday.

Stopped in Paris, TX at their Paris, TX Eiffel Tower.

It seemed a lot bigger on the web page where I found this.  We had lunch at a Denny's in Paris at noon.

Yesterday we went through the Cherokee Trace Drive-Thru Safari near Jacksonville, Texas

Took a lot of photos and will only post a few here.

The idiots in the car ahead of us let any animal stick their head clear into the car.  As you can see from the photo above, the girl in the back seat about went out of the car, nearly every time.  She, or another girl in the car, also kept shrieking, making me think back when granddaughter Emily was young she always would squeal or shriek until I wanted to throttle her.

What you looking at?

Some of the idiots in the cars, like the one ahead of us, really went all out to feed the animals.  This one apparently dove right in and they let it have the sack.  Hopefully it will get wet enough to deteriorate and drop off.

Took almost two hours driving through the Safari, with all the Saturday afternoon families stopping at all the places where signs said "No Stopping" to feed the alfalfa pellets that came with the entrance tickets.  Was about 25 miles from the Safari to where our trailer was parked and we stopped in the middle of that drive to eat a catfish/crab/shrimp dinner at one of the restaurants that indoor dining.

Will be stopping at a few places in Tulsa tomorrow and then stopping overnight at Jim and Patsy Gallaway's place overnight at a suburb northeast of there at Owasso, OK,  

This is the first time I have used the Hot Spot from our unlimited data T-Mobile phone.  Works well.

Been here 155 days - will head to Clarinda, IA tomorrow

 65 degrees here in Kenwood RV at 7:30 pm on Thursday.  Been heavy overcast most of the day with rain most of last night and into early morning. 

Spent the day packing the pickup.  Only have to put carrots on ice in coolers and then flowers on top of them to be finished.  Have everything in the travel trailer where we will sleep tonight.  Will unhook electricity to it in the morning and button up the place.  Have all the windows covered with insulation and will put a sheet of insulation between front door and storm door as we leave.

Hooked up, pulled down to maintenance building to air up tires and parked with door to travel trailer across from front door to house.  Almost all loaded.

Everything but the kitchen sink is in the pickup and that is in the travel trailer, eh?

Found this morning that we won't be able to visit with the Bakers - they have a funeral in Kansas on Monday so will miss them.

On the road in the morning.  -  Lynn
