Day 33 - Elks City OK

So now that we were totally rested and ready to go where was the sun the weatherman predicted!!!! I guess today was a day to test ALL of the skills that we learned over the last month or so....we had fog, rain, lots and lots of crosswinds, sun, and even a truck fire on the other side of the road!!! Not sure what happened but it was toast and the plumes of smoke were unbelievable. We just ducked our heads under the smoke and held our breath till we were passed it. phew good thing I rode fast because I was never the winner in "who can hold your breath for the longest!" haha!! This storm seems to be a slow mover - kind of sounds like the one we were in while sailing South. But there were no Holiday Inns and football games so how bad can it get???? We aren't mildew yet and the forcast looks good for a passage to Joplin MO tomorrow. Ahh its all an adventure - today we went over 6,0000 miles on the trip so far, 1,818 miles to go, and we just passed into central time so we are only technically an hour west of all of you YEA!!! Getting ready for some cocktails Flame and off to the ice machine Big Dog

Livin' la vida loca! Have one for me, and one for Lor, and Krissy and the two dogs, don't forget the cats. You guys will probably forget which way you are going and start heading back for Sedona. Ahhh, life on the road. At least you don't have to wait in some stinkin' airport for your luggage.
Be careful and don't hurry! Like you always say, schedules suck! (Or something like that.)
We miss you, so take care and write soon! Live! ;-)
