Our saga has begun.
We are in our third morning out. Waking up in Amarillo Texas.
First night out spent in Winslow Arizona at the Wal-Mart. Second day a long long drive to Amarillo TX and another Wal-Mart. Waking up at 4:30am and thinking it should be 6:30 am. Hard to get used to two time zone changes in one day and now we are on Central time.
Amarillo is one of our favorite towns. Flashy, lots of restaurants, lots of ten gallon hats, clothing stores, very modern and glitzy. ?Amarillo by Morning? as George Strait says, but we don?t have time to go to the free 72 ounce steak (if you eat it all in 1 hour) restaurant. ?We are on the road again? as Woody Nelson says, and want to make Tulsa, OK by nightfall and another Wal-Mart.
Then it is on to Branson MO, and our first real campground. We are hoping for 3 nights and a great show. Probably doing the Broadway special. Get a chance to dump our tanks, and take a swim. Then on to multiple Wal-Marts until we make our next destination and a little campground outside of Nappanee IN while we wait our turn to check into ?Camp Newmar? and get our warranty work done. Can?t wait to get our pea soup (this time we are going to freeze a supply of it) at the Nappanee delly and the bird nest eggs at the corner breakfast joint.
Then on to Spartan in Michigan and then finally to our camp hosting job at Colorado. Hope to make Colorado by June 23.
Our first fuel stop was somewhere near the New Mexico ? Texas border and we rung it up at $335. Ouch. We made it into Amarillo with ? of a tank so are in pretty good shape to get our of here this morning. Fuel bills will be big, but not as big as the mortgage we used to pay before going full time! <g>
