Another long day, but the scenery was better. Lots of very pretty redbuds in bloom in Oklahoma - splashes of purple among willows and oaks not yet leafed out. It was cold all day long - never got higher than 45 degrees and the wind was biting.
We'll cross Missouri tomorrow and go into Illinois at St. Louis. Then we'll dash across southern Illinois and spend the night at Terre Haute, IN.
Hey, gas is much cheaper now. I paid $3.399 in Joplin. Now that's a bargain. We got weighed in a weigh station in Arizona and the truck weighs 26,000 pounds. No wonder it guzzles diesel (and money). I think it gets less than 9 miles/gallon. I'm getting used to handing $100 bills to people who work in gas/diesel stations.
The day's picture is the "something for everyone" sign above our motel. Apparently, Joplin does not share San Luis Obispo's dislike of large ugly signs. :)
