Early Saturday we hitched up and headed East. From Santa Fe we headed south to Clines Corners where we picked up I-40 and by early afternoon we were in Amarillo, TX at a KOA on the east side of town. We were far from the interstate but nearby trains and Amarillo's airport made up for it. Military jets, probably part of an Air Guard unit took off, making noise as only military jets can. We went to Mass at the local Cathedral, and followed that up with dinner at a Cracker Barrel. I gassed up at a Samsclub and then back to the campground where we read until bed time.
Sunday found us hitched up and headed for points east. We were not sure how the tornadoes would affect campgrounds in the Oklahoma City area, and whether we wanted to stop there or go further. As it turned out, the weather was really nice, so we kept going past Oklahoma City to a KOA situated close to the town of Checotah, OK. They advertised a "quiet country atmosphere" No mention that they are about 100 yards from I-40 and constant traffic noise. The lousy WIFI, which is always part of the KOA experience was blamed on the tornadoes. Hah.
We have a nice shady campsite, with no one close by and they have a small restaurant in the office. We are out of cereal for breakfast, so will go to the restaurant for our morning meal.
Following that, it's 155 miles to the house, and the end of this story.
