Awake 6:38am Temp 41 Sunny Overnight @ Sanger, Texas

I call Ron & Vi, our neighbors 2 sites over..to say goodbye & hope to meet
up with them again somewhere, sometime. They will be hanging out in this
campground for at least another month.

Call Shirley in Vancouver, WA to wish her a "Happy Birthday" one day late.
A short call but it was nice talking with her.

Leave the Texas Sundown Ranch & RV Resort @ Sanger @ 11:20am. Road
conditions today mostly smooth with sections of wash-boarding & roughness
+ a 10 to 15 mph crosswind. We notice several trees along the way housing
mistletoe, but nothing like the abundance of mistletoe growing in the
Mesquite trees near and in Abilene.

Arrive @ the Crossroads RV Park @ 4:10pm. A small park but big rig
friendly with easy off & back on the highway. We did make a stop @ the
Oklahoma visitors center so Kathy could load up with brochures &
pamphlets, must know "what's happening in OK?"

Today's travel: 4+12 hrs 221 miles 26.6 gal 8.31 mpg 54.1 avg speed


After parking, we make a trip into Muskogee & tour the downtown area & a
few suburbs. It's kinda sad, but this same scenario is happening to so
many cities across America: the dying of our inner cities as we see here
today in Muskogee. The big box stores & shopping malls built out in
suburbia are sucking the downtown stores dry. What's the answer?

8:00pm Dinner: Slivered pork tenderloin with pasta in a sherry cream
sauce, asparagus sauted with fresh orange slices in boursin sauce +
raisin/pecan bread.

Late evening: Watch sitcoms: "Everybody loves Raymond" + "Seinfeld" on
local channel with antenna.

High temp today=64 Lights out: 12:35am
