Quick update of our travels for those interested. We are now camped out at the Flying J on Interstate 44 in Joplin, Missouri. All's going well except for the weather. After some really nice warm weather in New Ken we got rain all last night and sleeping in the CARAT with the rain pounding on the METAL roof all night was not pleasant. Today it was pretty much cloudy and cold all the way from Indianapolis to Joplin. We had hoped to get to Oklahoma City for the night but no way. We left late and at 6 or 7, we lost an hour there somewhere with a time change, my butt was too sore to continue on. So, on we go in the morning ! Maggie, we may not make it to your place until Saturday. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. The CARAT has been keeping a steady 70 ~ 75 mph no problems. Truck traffic is incredible. There are more trucks on the road than cars ! Holly Molely !
