Awake: 6:02am Temp 36 sleep 6+10 sunny overnight @ Newell campsite.


(3) Weeks later, it’s time to move on. The guys have been asking us if we
have changed our address to the Newell campsite yet! Is that a hint or
what? Anyway, these people have been very accommodating for us during our
extended stay. It’s like; they couldn’t do enough for us to make us feel
more comfortable during our waiting time.

Due to the strong winds & rain yesterday, our slide tops were pretty
dusty, so this morning in the cold, I did some fancy brushing before
retracting our slides.

We leave our Newell residence @ 10:10am. Hwy 69 south to the Indian Nation
turnpike, then hwy 271 to the Tyler, Texas loop 323 & route 31 west. We
endured a lot of small towns on hwy 69 & hwy 271 with ill timed traffic
lights, but the good news is: their roads were relatively smooth.

We arrive @ the # 1 RV park of Tyler just before dark @ 5:34pm. One
comfort stop en route.

Today’s travel: 7:25 time 386 miles 50.6 gal used 7.6 mpg
54.2 avg speed.

The Indian Nation turnpike toll was $10.50 but it saved us from going out
of our way by some 40 miles or more.

7:45 dinner: Fresh salmon & leftover sword fish, fried rice and noodles &
mixed salad.

Late satellite movie: “Dodsworth” with Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton,
Paul Lukas, Mary Astor, David Niven, etc. This story is about a
middle-aged American industrialist who retires, goes to Europe, where he &
his wife find differing sets of values & new relationships. 1936. You
don’t want to miss seeing this one. Timely, even 70 yrs later.
