On the road again for our Summer Vacation, ultimately ending up in McCall, Idaho for July and August. This year we are going to take a little detour up to Chanute, Kansas to pick up a new 5th Wheel. It's a long story and I am not sure you or I have the time right now.
We pulled out of Sun City at the crack of 9:30, not wanting to rush things, making sure everything is done and we are ready to go.
We made our first 100 miles and stopped at a rest stop just outside of Hillsboro, a fancy brand new rest stop. There was some highway history there, a windmill set up outside pumping water I don't know where and some very nice farm animal art on the inside. I really know that I needed a rest stop at that time and it was good to get some mileage under our belt.
Oh I forgot, we are making the trip in our almost brand new GMC pickup. For anyone that has an interest the color is Sonoma Red and when we left it had a little over 2,000 miles on it. We thought it was appropriate that if we were going to get a new 5th Wheel that we should pull it with a new Truck.
Our first stop is scheduled for Durant, Oklahoma. We went up 35 East toward Dallas then skipped over on 20 and then caught 635 around Dallas. That way ends up being about 19 miles longer but much easier on the nerves. We then caught 75 through Sherman and on into Durant, home of the Choctaw Casino. there was road construction outside of Sherman and on one stretch it took us over two hours to go three miles. Other than that we made good time. Arrived at the Choctaw Casino KOA around 3:30, a very nice campground with nice level, long concrete pads. Dinner this evening was in the elegant Blue Moon Cafe, inside the Casino.
Franz I found me this really nice looking bike and I thought we could do some dirt biking while in the McCall area.
