The fifth wheel pulled out about 530AM Marla tells me - I didn't hear a thing. We were up and on the road by 8AM heading south. Rain was in the forecast so we wanted to be by Kansas City before it started. Kansas City Missouri or Kansas was a bit of a non-issue as there is a good by-pass. It warmed up to 19C briefly but mostly stuck around 16C. Once we got through Kansas City we drove south to Pittsburg Kansas. There is a fried chicken place called Chicken Annies that we wanted to go to again but unfortunately it is only open for dinner and not lunch.

So we stopped at Wal-mart for groceries and made lunch and ate in the trailer.
We headed south to Oklahoma and passed through the remnants of a town - it looked like it was being demolished - definately no one living there anymore. We were occasionally on parts of historic Route 66 a couple of times over the next hour or so - nothing special.
We stopped in Grove Oklahoma for the night at Cedar Oaks RV Resort on Grand Lake O' Cherokees. We have a full hookup site tonight so it was time to de-winterize the trailer. The washrooms/showers won't be open here for another couple of weeks so we definately need to use the trailer facilities.
The rain held off most of the day but as I was doing the hookups it really started to come down. We had thundestorms rolling in off the lake for ahwile. No pictures today - maybe in the morning.
A late dinner and a bit of travel planning in the evening. We still haven't decided whether to head to the Gulf Coast first or head inland and tour before going to the coast. I guess it will depend where the warm weather will be tomorrow! It's going to be chilly the next couple of nights - down to plus 1C.
