Oklahoma and Kansas Drive

How could the daytime have been so beautiful yesterday and the night sooooo stormy?  Yes, as we slept in El Reno, OK, a storm with strong wind gusts, hail and rain surged through the area around 3:30 AM!  YIKES!  This one rocked the fifth wheel, and it was really noisy!  But, once again, we survived with no damage.... just with a weariness of storms, rain and wind but thankful for God's care!

We pulled out this morning - June 5th, Wednesday - around 7:30 and headed toward Wakeeney, Kansas.  Although it was cloudy most of the day, the rain had ceased so the drive was safe and with little traffic.  We enjoyed the beautiful vistas as we traveled though rural Oklahoma and Kansas.  There was still a strong wind blowing and that caused us to use more fuel to pull the RV.  However, we weren't happy to pay $4 per gallon for diesel!  Ouch!  That hurt!  Here are some interesting photos of things we saw on this 300 mile trip.
