On the Road(s) Again, and Again, and Again

It turns out that every state has requirements. We had neglected to arrange for one of ours, and had to take a quick trip to South Dakota.

We moved the trailer from Mustang Run RV in Yukon OK to Twin Fountains RV in Oklahoma City in the morning and by that afternoon we were in Topeka Kansas. I35 is a toll road after it leaves Oklahoma and is one of the finest Interstate highways we’ve ever encountered. There are several service plazas along the route, but most are undergoing renovations and the fast food services are not available.

The scenery along the highway is pure Kansas! Mile after mile of plains with occasional farm and ranch buildings.

Just north of Wichita we moved over to US 77 to avoid Kansas City. Lots of small farming towns here, some anticipated sweets, and more range land.

We picked up our first Kansan avian souvenir near one of the few turns in the road! I guess you can tell we were bored!

We spent a fitful night in Topeka at an Endeavor hotel. I wouldn’t recommend it, but dinner next door at Hooters was delightful! Next days arrival in North Sioux City, SD, was uneventful with a nice room at a Hampton Inn and dinner at P’s Pizza. A vegetarian pizza cooked in a coal fired oven was a unique and tasty pie!

No pics on the return to OKC. Boredom had taken a firm grip on us. We didn’t stop halfway like we did on the outbound leg and drove all the way, a total of just over 1,100 miles all told. Thanks to Donna, who drove more than halfway each day, I was able to nap, read, and nibble on Oreo’s. What’s not to like?
