These runs are not getting any easier. At least the scenery was pretty, although, I did discover that some of my running track today was a nuclear evacuation route.
After trying to get my breath back on my return I managed to see a family of ducks swim out onto the late, it was gorgeous.
Back onto the Interstate 40 today, driving into a new state, Oklahoma. The road is becoming less congested with trucks so hopefully, the driving is a little less stressful for Pete.
The scenery was filled with green forests, cattle farming and open plains. We crossed lots of rivers and lakes including the large Lake Eufaula and the North Canadian River.
A quick stop in Van Buren (Arkansas) to refuel, Walmart (we always need something) and a haircut for Pete. I’m pleased to report that the haircut was successful.
Soon we had crossed the border from Arkansas into Oklahoma.
We bypassed the town of Checotah which is Carrie Underwood’s hometown (Season 4 winner of American Idol, 2005) and at one stage we came off the Interstate 40 onto HWY 377 and passed through little towns such as Prague (EST. 1902) and Davenport.
Next, we hit the iconic Route 66. We will travel on this road (route) at various stages throughout our USA trip.
On our first section of Route 66, we passed through the small town of Chandler where we stopped at the Route 66 Interpretive Center (Museum). We were going to stay in Chandler overnight but the campsite did not look promising. Instead, we drove a few more miles or so down the road to the Twin Fountains RV Park on the outskirts of Oklahoma City.
We covered a lot of miles today and have decided to spend at least two nights here.
Once we arrived and set up camp the boys had a small game of basketball and explored the park.
Twin Fountains RV Resort Bar & Grill for dinner. Not healthy, pizza, but as it was cooked and cleared for me it was perfect, I was shattered.
