Closing day 2 and starting day 3
Somewhere in west Oklahoma the wind started picking up and my poor
little car was struggling. We decided to stop for the night in Erick,
OK and camp out. We found a Day’s Inn and as soon as I stepped out of
the car my hat went flying into the road. I had to sprint to catch up
with it. The internets say it was winds of 25-35mph with gusts up to 45
last night.
This morning it’s no better, the maps show a huge pocket of 30-40mph
winds in Oklahoma and nothern Texas and we are smack dab in the middle
of it. Oh well, gonna be a slow drive at first today.
We were reminded that we were in Oklahoma when we woke up to tumbleweed
stuck under the car. And it’s almost comical to see real life
tumbleweed blow across the road.
980miles down… a long ways to go.
