From the Road to Hell to Peculiar

Not that we have been in Hell--not exactly, anyway--but on the road to Hell--Highway 69 in Oklahoma again. Last Friday, in my mind I swore I would never ride on that road again in my life. However, fate dictated otherwise.

When we arrived in Dallas Friday, our smaller slide containing the stove, fridge, and TV sounded like a road grader when I put it out. Not good. Since downpours were forecast for the next 36 hours, we didn't want to bring it in and have it get stuck partway. Besides, no one repairs RVs on weekends. So Monday morning, we got on the phone to the nearest dealer, our dealer, the manufacturers of the trailer and the slide, and a mobile repair service. Brick walls every where.

We decided to cancel the rest of our trip to Mississippi, Florida and Georgia and head home. Back on I-75 and Oklahoma 69 to be battered to pieces. We spent last night again at Lake Eufala with much better weather than last Thursday. Then on the road today to Peculiar, Missouri. It's one of my favorite town names.

We are staying at Peculiar Park Place RV Park. All of the campground streets are named for Monopoly properties! It seems like a very nice place in spite of high winds and rain forecast for overnight. Tomorrow, home and emptying the camper to prepare for repairs we hope.

Sorry to hear your trip has been cut short. Hope the fix to the trailer is painless. Summer is coming I think
