Where Are We Today

Grove Oklahoma
Last night we kept an eye on the
weather fronts, especially the ones 90 miles to the south east as a couple of
tornadoes touched down. We still had clear skies with an expected cold front
coming in around 11 p.m., which it did, bringing an increase in wind speeds to
the 20 MPH mark. Needless to say, we had an uneventful night where we were.
Morning brought cloudy skies and still the wind, but being move on day, we were
soon packed up and on our way by 10 a. m.
It was an easy drive across I-40 thru
Oklahoma City to U.S. 69 N to 412 E which becomes a toll road so we got off
part way onto Alternate 412 to U.S.59 N to Grove Ok. Before we left this
morning, we had called to book into Eagles Landing for two nights. Arriving at
4 p. m. , it wasn't long before we were set up on site 325 and ready for a good
days rest.
We had noticed a few days ago, that,
the cargo carrier on the back of the trailer, where we carry our generator and
our two folding bikes, was sagging. At one of our pit stops today, it looked
even worse. The cargo carrying weight is for 250lbs, and the generator and
bikes weighed less than 200 lbs. With all the bouncing up and down on some of
these roads, the bar was bending. I made this decision to unload the generator
and put it in the back of the truck, leaving the bikes on the cargo carrier. In
order to get the generator in the back of the truck, I had to remove the wheel
kit so it sat low enough and wouldn't get hit by the trailer hitch. Fifteen
minutes later, all was well again and we were on our way.
Well that was our day, so until the
next time, take care and be safe. Thanks for your comments.
