I am posting this a day late because of computer problems at the hotel. We left as planned at 5:00 am and hit the road without delay. We didn't get much sleep, down at 11:30 and up at 4:00 and woke up about every hour. Just excited I guess. We met Bo and Cindy in Pell City and then met Wolfie and Juanita in Moody about 20 minutes later. We jumped on the road and headed towards Oklahoma. One thing that all of us discovered was that the gas mileage dropped considerably when we were pulling trailers. It went from about 42 down to 33! While in Arkansas and Oklahoma we encountered someone speaking an amazing amount of really fast spanish on the CB. He was talking so fast we couldn't even talk on the radio and he went on for about 30 minutes and it seemed like he didn't even take a breath! We all stopped at a Burger King in Wynne, AR and used their concrete tables to make sandwiches for lunch. It was a well needed break and a well needed sandwich. The weather was really not that bad. We had rain for about 30 minutes, but we just put on our rain gear and kept on going. It is actually cooler here than in Alabama. The high in Oklahoma was about 86 degrees. We arrived late, around 9:00 PM, in Oklahoma City and found a hotel after riding 750 miles the first day. We ran into a little challenge when we tried to find a room because there was some kinda dog show in town and all the rooms were booked. The girls briefly talked about shaving Wolfie for the show, but it never got that far.
It was a great day of riding and tomorrow we are off to New Mexico.
