The road from the campground to I-40 in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.The Ft. Smith version of "Spaghetti Junction". Atlantans will understand that reference.7 more miles and we'll be in OklahomaAnd there it is: Welcome to Oklahoma!This construction zone went on for quite a few miles. Bumpy, one lane highway, with a retaining wall only inches away, and a good stiff breeze, makes for a harrowing journey.Lots of cows and farms here.Indian Nation Turnpike. There are lots of Indian Nations in Oklahoma. I saw Muscokgee, Apache, Kickapoo, Shawnee, and Cherokee that I can remember. HAM SANDWICHES! For some reason, FabGrandpa was amused by these signs. Every time he saw one he would say "HAM SANDWICHES"!Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City is right next to I-40. This plane was huge!Oklahoma City from I-40 West.The North Canadian River.One 1.8 MW wind turbine at a reasonable site would produce over 4.7 million units of electricity each year, enough to meet the annual needs of over 1,000 households. There were lots of these--more than a hundred. They went on for miles. West of Oklahoma City.Isn't that a beautiful big sky?Finally made it to the KOA in Elk City. It was a very nice, shaded and flat site. 298 miles today.
All right, you’ve put down some more of those I40 miles. I hate towing next to those retaining walls in contruction, always think the RV won’t bounce well on them.
I guess all that flat land has nothing to stop the big winds so the turbines make sense. Could be used in many places.
Sure hope you fed FabGrandpa a Ham Sandwhich after all that driving. Now for TX.
