Why Did The Turtle Cross The Road? Because He Was Feeling Randy!!

388.9 miles in the hot sun.  A fine start to the trip.  Made it on the road around 8:30am. About 10:00am discovered the first of many items I left at home.  Flash Card for the camera!!  DOH!!!  Why did I leave it?  It's this damn blog's fault of course.  Immediately before leaving, I upload the picture of the "rig".  And proceeded to leave the card in the computer.  Thank goodness for Wal-mart. 

I stayed mostly on 66, but bypassed Springfield, MO as really nothing to gain, and time to lose.  Made it to Gary Turner's station about 3:00pm, and created these images. 

Needing to make it to Tulsa, we hit the road, enjoying the blazing sun, wind, and turtles.  Arrived in Tulsa aroudn 7:30 at Laurel K's, and quickly started consuming large quantities of beer!!  mmmm, beer.  While chatting she said watch out for the turtles, as it must be mating season.  Well, there were plenty of turtles crossing the route....I avoided most, but one unlucky turtle discovered the rath of the trailer.  So sorry turtle.....I think he survived.  But just like men, turtles will do stupid things when feeling randy!!

Sitting in Red Fork now at the Ollie Station Resturant, having a much too leisurely breakfast.....Food is not bad, service is way to slow....about the same speed as the model trains that circle the dining area.  Wishing I could post this now, but no WiFi at the station.  Come on Restaurants of the World, get with the 90's and get wireless!!!

Hoping to make it to Amarillo by evening.  Perhaps camping in Palo Duro Canyon. 

Almsot forgot.  The gremlins struck again.  Had a great picture in Kansas.  Probably the best picture ever.....and they disappeared again.  The picture?  The sign that says "Leaving Kansas"!!!
