Day One - Minnesota to Oklahoma City

We made it to Oklahoma City, OK! Through dense fog from Minneapolis to Des Moines, the sun finally decided to jump out at us and shine on the day. The weather was perfect and warm in Oklahoma!


Here is the introduction to our journey:



Our most eventful, or should I say least eventful, part of the day's journey was the Kansas Turnpike. There was no warning whatsoever, other than "last free exit", that there would be no more exits PERIOD. We did have a pretty full tank of gas, but were not expecting to go 50 some odd miles without a gas station or a place to eat. We had agreed to stop somewhere in Topeka or somewhere north of there to take a break. Well....hours later and many miles of nothing, we were left with no other choice but to stop at a McDonald's and gas station in the middle of the turnpike. It was complete entrapment - more than likely a conspiracy between the CEO of McDonald's and the CEO of the Turnpike Transit Authority of Kansas!!!


One last view of Minneapolis....
