WE MADE IT TO TEXAS

Time for todays Blog. 

We accomplished three things that we always look forward to.  1. We reached Green Grass.  2. We had to turn the heat off in the truck.  And last but not least, 3. We made it to Texas. We are only 33 miles over the Oklahoma / Texas border in Denton Texas.  We still have a full days driving of approximately 600 miles, but at least we are in Texas and on the home stretch.

 We left St. Louis this morning at 7:30 am and made a diagonal journey across Missouri from St. Louis to Joplin.  I was surprised to see the lovely rolling country side out side of St. Louis.  It was a very pretty drive all the way, much like the Oklahoma that I am very familiar with.

 Here is the green grass we saw today.  Very different from the snow we left in Ohio.




 Then we made a diagonal journey across Oklahoma through Tulsa and on to Oklahoma City, then straight south toward Dallas. 

  

  We stopped at 4:30 as we did not want to tackle Dallas in "Rush Hour".  We have done that before (with the trailer in tow, no less) and it’s no fun. 

So,  with any luck at all,  we will be at our little home away from home by  dinner time tomorrow.
