Don\u2019t yell!\u2026 I know it is late and you all just thought I forgot to finish up the vacation series.  Well SH_T happens and you just don\u2019t get all the stuff done you figure on.<\/p>\n

The day<\/strong> started pretty early, I got out and started putting things away, pulling in slides, and generally preparing to get under way.  We did at about 8AM or a little after.  Not too bad but remember the damn air conditioner was broke and we had 500+ miles of open , sun-baked road<\/strong> to cover today.  It was hot and we knew it. <\/p>\n

We zipped right<\/strong> on through Pueblo and the valley.  I did a little qawking, as I knew a lot of the area from having worked out there.  The Ark river appeared to be full all the way to Lamar, an amazing feat on July 2nd.  I did get a glimpse of Bents Fort as we passed on the Highway 50.  It is hard to see if you don\u2019t know where to look but I spotted it with the flag flying.  We remember being in La Junta when it was opened up.  We have been back once or twice and it is a real treat or was as I remember. <\/p>\n

We got to Garden City, Ks just a little after lunch<\/strong> time and planned on getting fuel and food but missed on both occasions.  Our fuel stop was to be Sam’s, but they do not honor the Wal-Mart card?  The ones in OK<\/strong> do?  I checked and it appeared we had enough to get into Oklahoma where it would be a bit<\/strong> cheaper so we just turned on the road<\/strong> and headed toward Dodge.  By then we realized we had not stopped for Lunch in Garden?  How did I miss that?<\/p>\n

In Dodge we had planned on taking the west bypass but since we needed or desired nourishment we went on down the tourist route.  Once in we spotted a parking<\/strong> area on the other side<\/strong> of the tracks big enough for the Bus and Jeep<\/strong>.  None of the places we passed had parking<\/strong> large enough for a bus?  And they call<\/strong> this a tourist town? Anyway we parked, and walked over the tracks, finding a really strange bright silver rock<\/strong>?  No idea what it is but it is not heavy enough for Lead or Silver but sure looks like it.  Anyway we got across with out even seeing a train, and the first place<\/strong> was ???? McD\u2026 Holy crap strike 3 already and we are not home<\/strong> yet.  We could have walked another 1\/4 or 1\/2 mile to an Arbys or face the 5 lanes of traffic<\/strong> on the main street to get across to Taco Hell but we wimped and took McD. <\/p>\n

Back in the Bus we headed south to Oklahoma.  The highway that direction<\/strong> is very low on traffic<\/strong> and has some decent sites through the grass lands.  When we hit<\/strong> Woodward I pulled into the second station and got Fuel.  Strange place<\/strong> \u2013 they do not have a dollar limit<\/strong> on the fuel pumps?  Most places I get $75 or $100 and have to do it all over again.  With a 100 gallon tank<\/strong> and having not bought any fuel since Alamosa about 6 days ago it was down to a quarter tank<\/strong> so the bill was just short of $300 \u2013 ouch!!!!!!.  But it is the price you pay for all that fun, right<\/strong>? or was it convenience, or maybe something else?<\/p>\n

We got home<\/strong> about 7:45pm or so and had a bit<\/strong> of help to get unpacked.  A first, as usually I unpack and it takes me several hours.  I even had the Bus in the garage by 8:45pm and called my Dad by then.  I had to make several trips back over the next days to get stuff we forgot but that is ok.  <\/p>\n

It was a hot day<\/strong> and we were wore out from the trip.  I hate doing it all in one<\/strong> day<\/strong> but I needed to have Sunday to prepare (I thought) for my return<\/strong> to work.<\/p>\n

The route detail for this day<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

SUNDAY<\/p>\n

Sunday, I got up, did a few little things then headed back to Enid to visit<\/strong> with DAD<\/strong>.  We had a good visit, went to lunch<\/strong> at Rib Crib \u2013 not too bad over there, and I helped him with some book keeping and other stuff.  I got home<\/strong> from that about 5pm and by late evening was checking emails that had stacked over the past<\/strong> few days.  Checked my work email and found one<\/strong> that \u201con your return<\/strong> \u2013 standby\u201d\u2026. oh boy<\/p>\n

Anyway we took off to the fireworks display and caught all of it.  A short version of previous years but still nice. <\/p>\n

Another long day<\/strong> and I just crashed when we got back. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
