On the Road Again

We got going early this morning. It was 27 degrees outside, and we unhooked the motor home in the still dark hours, but turning to daylight, and started off. The car got towed as usual, and we headed north by way of Fredericksburg and then cross country to Austin, where we picked up I-35 heading north. The motor home gulped down diesel fuel and sailed onward. It seemed like no time, and we were skirting Waco, Fort Worth, and Denton. We left our very dry state of Texas and crossed into Oklahoma. I almost broke into song but resisted singing the Roger's and Hammerstein's song, as I was afraid that Shirley Jones would not approve of my singing. HW2 whiled away the hours by doing lots of sudoku, solitaire, and surfing the net on her computer. We stopped for lunch at a truck stop after giving more diesel to the M H. Finally, we stopped north of Oklahoma City, being slightly more than half way on our trip to Omaha.

We pulled into a RV campground and learned that our bedroom slides are still not working. Battery problems??? We will stop in Wichita and see if an RV repair place there can help us. This may mean that we get into Omaha a day later, but we have to get this slide thing fixed. It is very frustrating to us both to have these problems, but problems happen, and you have to roll with the punches. So we shall see, but the MH did travel well today otherwise. I will keep you posted.
