Sunday 4th day out! Winter is waning at last



Two miracles in a row! The camper started again this morning and it was 5 degrees above zero without the wind chill. Once again the sun was shining as we left Andover, Kansas headed for as far south as we could comfortably travel. No more glare ice or snow although there was still plenty of snow in the fields. As we continued south the snow faded away and the land stayed flat all through Oklahoma. Can't imagine why anyone would want to live in this state but I suppose there are people who wouldn't want to live in the upper peninsula of Michigan either. Give me trees any day compared to the barren moon scape of Oklahoma. As we traveled through Oklahoma City the land started to take on a new look with hills and rough rock ledges as we pulled into Ardmore, Ok. Much warmer here and I was able to switch out my boots for shoes as we pulled into our motel. Still standing water has a thin crust of ice but it is definitely starting to feel like warmer air is moving in. We will get off Interstate 35 tomorrow after entering into Texas and zig zag a bit on secondary roads through the state . It will feel good to get to our first destination and be able to use the camper as home.
