Decluttering the Stuff for a Decluttered Life in Retirement

Summer 2019 Part 1b – OK to WV

Published on

in

The next leg of our journey was travelling from Oklahoma to West Virginia. These were long driving days (500+ miles each).  We did experience a few things along the way.

Our night in Oklahoma was at the Elk City KOA.  After a weird driving day from Amarillo via Lubbock, this was a nice stop!  Upon entering the office to check in, we see that they have a mini diner and bar!  John looks at the menu and is convinced that we deserve a drink (Margarita) and their Frito Chili Pie for dinner.  After dinner, John purchased the t-shirt.  They were not cheap with their alcohol!  We both had a great night sleep.

When we returned to our site, this was parked next to us.  That is what we need when the Zombie Apocalypse occurs!  Too bad they start at $490,000.  Manufactured by EarthRoamer.

 

Here is a view of the playground.

Welcome to Missouri and Illinois.  So many of the rivers had high water levels.  The area north of St. Louis was flooded when we passed through.

 

Another long driving day.  View of Louisville and some horse stable/farm.  You can’t really see the horses but they are there!

 

And now into West Virginia.

    Wow! I can’t believe the price of that RV! WV is gorgeous!! My daughters went to high school there. I loved visiting, but the mountain driving had me scared to death! How did you manage that in an RV??

      haha easy! I let John do the knuckle-gripping driving! Thankfully in an RV you are going so slow up hill it’s not a problem and down hill you just creep along like the trucks. It’s amazing how much smoother it is when you slow down.

        It wasn’t the speed as much as the sharp drop offs on the side! CLOSE to my side!!

          That doesn’t seem to bother me. But put Kiddo #2 in the passenger seat and you get a great show!

    Half a million dollars for a RV. Wow! Looking at other people’s campers/RVs or even tents is one of the things I love most about staying in a campground.

      And that is the starting price! The model we saw is over $1 million. They require a $50,000 deposit AND it takes about a year before you get it. Definitely out of our price range!!

      We love looking at other people’s too! Even some of the stuff they have out as you walk by can be interesting.
