Routes 40 & 44

Routes 40 & 44:

How to say this nicely?  These are the days that I'm glad I have my knitting and a good book to read.  

Today was a 300+ mile drive eastward through eastern Oklahoma into Missouri.  The temps were up in the 90's with not a whole heck of a lot of options for stopping to comfortably do some sight-seeing.  Truth be told, I-44 in Oklahoma didn't even have any rest stops along the way to just pull over.  The highlight of the day was grocery shopping at a super Walmart where the A/C was in full force.


On the other hand, there are always the highway signs along the way to break up the drive; something for everyone:





I'll stick with the chocolate.

Tonight, we're at a lovely KOA campground outside of Springfield, Missouri.  The temps are still up there, but we're surrounded by tall trees and greenery (not to mention the A/C in our RV); it's looking more like home!
