Travels

As you can see from the blog below we spent the past week in Anchorage visiting with Sydney (and of course Stephanie & Brian). It was great to meet Sydney and spend some quality time with her.

Before we left for Anchorage we went down to Austin, Texas and spent the day there. We walked around the music district and listened to some bands (it was pretty quiet since it was a Wednesday night). We also ate some barbeque...mmm good.

Once we returned to the lower 48 (and escaped the snow by just a few hours we are told) we went back to Lawton and picked up our RV at the shop. It was time to get the oil changed on both the diesel engine and on the generator. This was a new experience for us - $350 for both (which we have heard was a pretty good deal). The mechanic also took the front shock off but couldn't find a replacement in town so he put the same one back on - but the good news is that took care of the rattle that's been with us since Liard Hotsprings!!

We then drove out of town and through Oklahoma City (sorry I didn't call Susan - by this time it was around 830pm and we kept going). We are now in Arkansas and are deciding where to go next. We might stop and drive through the Ozarks or go down to Hot Springs - or maybe just drive on through to Nashville. We haven't decided yet - any ideas?? We want to be in Charleston by next Thursday so we have a little bit of time.

I will try to be better about posting and taking more pictures. I must say that East Oklahoma looks very different from West Oklahoma - more rolling hills and trees (that are all in the midst of turning colors).
