The Great Lakes Road Trip - First Day

Well, we're off!  We have 8 new states to explore and meet our new dealers.  After much deliberation, we decided to take the Jet Fighter (aka: Dodge Caravan) instead of the RV.  We're not known for being light packers . . .


Jack & Lucy have their own beds in front of all that stuff. 


So we left Texas on a beautiful 90 degree day, and spent our first night in Mt Pleasant, TX, in the KOA Storage Shed. Seriously.






After a long day of repping, we got in to Tulsa, OK after dark to set up camp. Steve made the best Ramen noodles ever and we decided to see if all four of us can fit in a two-person tent. It worked out pretty good with Jack sleeping out in the vestibule.



We knew we were next to the Will Rogers Race Track, but what we didn't know was that they would set up the starting gate and do some practicing about 5 am. 







The horses were beautiful and so powerful. It was amazing to see them running from so close up. All my "horses running fast" pictures were a bust.  :-)  More soon!
