Across Missouri and Into Oklahoma

Saturday February 11th

Much better start today; breakfast ate and on the road by 9:30. About 20 miles down the road we saw a gas station that looked easy to get into and out of so we stopped. And it was easy to get into and out of but also very busy so we had to wait to get to a pump and then wait to get out once we were gassed up because other people were blocking my exit. From there on it was down one hill and up the next like a Missouri Mule all day. Stopped for lunch and fuel at Lebanon, MO. The winds were gusty all day long so driving was tiring.

We crossed into Oklahoma shortly before dark. We were planning to stop at a motel on the S side of Tulsa but when we got to the S side there were no motels and soon we were back on the OK Toll Road system where there aren’t many exits and no motels. We were resigned to going all the way to Oklahoma City but then came upon the town of Stroud where there was an exit and a motel and several restaurants. We stopped and had a good Mexican meal then checked into the Stroud Best Western. It wasn’t quite the Hilton but it was the best in town.
