Departure Saturday June 10

We got away from the house at 8:30 headed for Chocktow Casino in Durant Oklahoma.  On the way we stopped at the rest stop just out side Waco and I  thought that I would give the RV park a call and make reservations.  Boy was I surprised, sold out nothing available, bummer.  So we diverted to Ardmore, OK.  Not a big deal, made reservations at an  RV park and took WI35 instead of EI35.  Put the RV park in the GPS and off we went.  Things went well until the GPS took us through down town Ardmore and out into the country down Gene Autry Road on a two lane road.  I new I was in the wrong place and call for directions, I was only about 10 miles off course, seems that I should have turned at exit 24 six miles south of Ardmore.  I tried to find a wide spot to make a U turn, but the spot I found was not wide enough and as I attempted my turn and wasn't paying close enough attention, I turned too sharp and the trailer went into the back window of the cab of the truck.  Very nasty words and I was soo  pissed that I was so stupid as to not avoid the crash, because it was avoidable.  All that behind us we made it to By The Lake RV Park.  It was a great park, built new last August with over 100 pull through sites all concrete and level with a dog park and a swimming pool.  One of the best RV parks we have run on to on the road.





At the RV park a did a little dumpster diving to get some cardboard to cover the window.  With some great engineering and plenty of  duct tape I was able to fabricate a window cover that held up, for the most part, on the trip to Topeka the next day.
