Don't let the sun fool you! What a day of travel! We stayed in Dennison Texas last night and when we got up to leave this morning it was snowing with low visibility. We waited 'til 10 AM to leave (when it quit snowing) taking Route 75, 69 up into Oklahoma. The farther north we traveled the smaller our 2 lane road became. We were traveling at a rate of about 25 miles/hour. Then our speed picked up to 35; Les said, "Well, we're going 35 now." Right after Les said that, we came to a halt. We sat sandwiched between miles of trucks behind and in front of us. Les walked to the truck behind us and asked the trucker if he knew what was going on. He said one of the trucks in front of us couldn't get up the hill. After one and a half hours and singing and praying, we saw some activity ahead of us. The fire departement, sheriff, and high way patrol all came on the scene and slowly one of the trucks began moving slowly forward up the hill. Then another one started; but shortly afterward stopped and another 20 minutes of waiting, the caravan began to move. And 7 hours later traveling a total of 250 miles, we arrive safely in beautiful Joplin, MO. We did notice a big difference in the road maintenance between OK and MO. Much better in MO. More tomorrow as we check out the roads down to the lake after their 22+ inches.
SNOW, SNOW, SNOW EVERYWHERE!
THIS POOR FELLA DIDN'T FARE VERY WELL!
