We said our goodbyes and left Grand Isle on Friday. Our
first stop was at Beaumont, Texas and then on to Livingston where we decided to
wait out the passage of a strong low pressure area and its resultant tornados.
Walking Molly I noticed a familiar fifth wheel and Mike and Loretta came out to
greet us, perhaps as surprised as we were.
That’s what fun about our life style, you never know when
you will meet up with fellow full timers. Two days later we headed north to
Ardmore, Oklahoma and then off Guthrie where the severe winds made us lay up
for two days.
It was Renita’s birthday and so we spent a day antiquing in
downtown Guthrie. There were actually some good shops with real antiques, but
nothing we really needed, no rocks anyway. One of the stores featured local
artists and we met a jewelry designer. She had made a few of her beautiful
pieces using Teepee Canyon and Dry head agates and of course we had to tell her
of our stone work.
The winds finally eased a little and so our next drive was
to Dodge City. It’s a place we have already visited and so it’s a stopping off
place where again we will wait for the wind to die down, (two days ago the wind
gusts here were over sixty miles per hour and dust and sand storms blew rigs
off the road.
Tomorrow the winds will finally let off again and so our
goal is tp make the last legs across the plains, leaving the threat of
tornadoes behind. We are not really sure where we are going, Rapid City, or
Casper, or even Rock Springs. Regardless the roads all will lead to Thayne
where we will spend the summer. Clear skies
