Not quite so early a day today.  Got to sleep until 6 am.  On the road now to Oklahoma. It’s a long drive but that’s what we like.   It’s only 34 degrees but a beautiful morning.   Bright blue sky with very few clouds.   Seeing a lot of windmills in this part of Illinois.  I really don’t like seeing those things.   They take over the horizon for miles.   It would be one thing if they really did something but to know they cost $2 million dollars minimum each and do very little they really don’t make much sense.

Anyway, very thankful for a gorgeous day and ready to roll.

Stopping for lunch in Cuba, Missiouri on old Route 66.   Dotties Restaurant.   I’m having the fried chicken and Greg is having the Wurst Pretzel.   Bratwurst on a pretzel bun.   The truck is going to be fun later.

Made it in to oklahoma.   We stopped at a truck stop called “The Wood Shed”.   Beautiful sunset on the way here.   Sure wish I could pull over and take the time to set up the camera and get a good shot but you still should be able to get a good idea.   The sun seems to take forever to go down.

We had left overs again for dinner.   Fixing the chicken tomorrow or the next day.   Will see how our schedule goes.

DG: Beautiful day today.  Sunset in Oklahoma was amazing.  The colors were so bright and the light lingered forever.

Staves, grapes, boats and cows.  Missouri has it all.

We found a parking spot.  Big truck stop off of I44 with a 20 foot Indian out front.  I had stopped here during my training several months ago.  This is one of the old style truck stops with a full service restaurant, gift shop, the works.  Trucker’s home away from home.

I had Annie take pictures of the Tracker Boat manufacturer.  There must be 20 acres of boats.  Check ’em out.

Dinner was delicious, again.  Enough pork roast left over for lunch tomorrow, then onto chicken.

Hope you all are well.  We will be turning in momentarily.  Early day tomorrow.

Good night and God bless.
