Back in Choctaw, OK

We left Amarillo, TX around 8:00 this morning and drove the last 275 miles to Choctaw, OK where we will spend a few days before heading south into Texas for the winter. There has been no incidents on this 3200 mile trip to California and back until we pulled on the property when we got stuck and had to have a tow truck pull us out. I am happy we have Coach-Net as our road service.

Amarillo, TX

We left Grants, NM at 9:00 this morning and stopped for the night at the Big Texan Steak House in Amarillo, TX. No one wanted to take the free 72 ounce steak challenge. We'll be back in Choctaw, OK tomorrow evening.

Mojave, CA

We left Escalon, CA around 10 this morning on our way back to Choctaw, OK first stopping for the night after 302 miles on the road in Mojave, CA. This is like old home town for me after once living in Rosamond when I worked at Edwards AFB. I was born 60 miles east from here in Barstow, CA.

California State Sticker

We finely earned the right to place the California State Sticker on the map on the door of our motorhome. For those who know what our requirements are, you know why Barb is smiling. After 6 years on the road we now have 33 states on our map.

Escalon, CA
