Well, the rig has happy feet again. After a week in Tulsa, and some very good service from a local shop, the shimmy and shake in the front is a thing of the past, and two brand new tires are proudly mounted on the wheels. That means (tuh Dah) we hit the road in the morning (or early afternoon at the latest) and head south.
It’s been an adventure this year on the Kansas/Oklahoma stop, but as always good friends reached out and helped get us through. Thanks again to everyone who helped us finally make it out of Coffeyville, and an extra thanks to our friends Jim and Beverly, and all the folks at Tulsa’s Expo Square. We even got rid of the mouse that was giving us more than a single mouse’s worth of trouble. (More on that in an upcoming post).
It will be nice to get down into some warmer weather as we head into the thick of winter, but for me, the best thing is just getting back on the road. There’s something about moving down the highway, looking out your big picture window at an ever-changing panorama that has fascinated me from the beginning. It’s the knowledge that the whole, beautiful country is at your disposal, and that your back yard will be completely different tonight than it was last night.
We’ll be taking a different route this year than the last couple of times we’ve been in this area, so we’ll see a different part of Texas on our way to New Mexico, then on to Arizona and the big tall cacti and great desertscapes.
That’s it for now…just want to let you all know I’m still here.
Blog at ya later,

Let's hope you didn't just jinx us!!
I notice you also began the set up for leaving behind schedule! Hmmmm
I'm so glad you're all finally able to hit that road again. My little mouse critter lasted until California. After hearing munching and rustling up in a tall cupboard in the middle of the night, I finally used some bait. The little body showed up on the couch (eech) when I got into San Diego.
Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that the rest of your trip will be completely uneventful, at least mechanically.
Ditto on your trip being uneventful... looking forward to more adventurous stories in the not to distant future.
