Up at 5 am for our trip to Georgia. Temperature is 29 but skies are clear.

Got some pretty pictures of the sunrise. It’s so flat and open out here and it was amazing to watch the sky change colors.

Kansas sunrise

We started out in Kansas, crossed in to Oklahoma and then in to Arkansas.   I didn’t take a bunch of pictures of Oklahoma or Kansas again today seeing as I uploaded a ton of them yesterday.   It would have just been more pictures of more cows.   LOL

We drove through the Ozarks on our way through Arkansas.   You could see really big mountains off in the distance so we weren’t in the highest areas.   It was beautiful though.  After being in the plains of Kansas and farms of Oklahoma it was nice to see hills, mountains and lots of green trees and some elevation to the land.   There were several very pretty lakes as well along our route through Arkansas.    One big lake had a beach area and at first I thought it was sand but realized it was snow.   There was one guy out there in a boat fishing though.   Brave fella!

We have also been seeing a lot of hawks on our trip.   The Native Americans believe that the hawk is a protector and is able to see the way ahead and warn you of danger so I am going to believe they are working with us to keep an eye out and keep us safe.    We have seen a lot of them in pairs which is neat.   One will be in a tree and a few trees down will be the other one or they will both be flying around.    We have seen so many that its hard to believe its a coincidence.

I am keeping my fingers crossed!   We have a trip to Ocoee, Florida, on Friday and so we are hoping to work it out with the next trip so that we can go see my babies for a couple of days.   We are supposed to give a weeks notice before time off but its hard to get that close and not go.  Ocoee is just north of Orlando, so about three hours away.   I hope we can work it out.  I miss them terribly.    They ask us all the time how many states away we are and when can we get to Florida.   Maddi told Greg today that she missed him so much and was going to kiss him all over his face and hug him all over the place when she saw him next.   Absolutely precious.    Here’s hoping!

We saw a couple more Casinos today.   What is a Native American area without a Casino now a days.  One was real tiny like a convenient mart but it still said Casino.   Another was really big and they were building on.   Go Cherokees!!

There are several pictures of ducks on a pond.   They are blurry unfortunately, but wanted you to get an idea of how many ducks were on this pond.    It had to be hundreds.

I almost missed getting the picture of the Oklahoma state line sign.   We stopped at a weigh station and usually its weigh and go but this time they asked Greg to pull around and be inspected which is very unusual so I got distracted.    Turns out all they wanted to do was measure his trailer for some reason.   Making sure his axles or something were lined up right.

We are parked at our old standby – Pilot, again tonight.  Glad we got here early.   There are no empty parking spots and some are even parked on the road trying to get some rest.   It’s amazing how a parking lot with 100 or even 200 parking spaces for trucks can fill up in a hurry.

Going to turn in.   Got a long day planned tomorrow.   We have to make it or at least get close to Elberton, Georgia.   Its 610 miles.   Its closer to my babies though!!

Goodnight, y’all.
