Alarm woke us up, need to make use of the daylight.

Breakfast was eggs, sausage and a little biscuits and gravy. Then I had a little yogurt but all they had was a banana mix.

Rolled out at 7 AM. Glad we didn't wait for rush hour to get over ;) We had the highway mostly to ourselves. Likely about as busy as a normal 5 am ... on a Sunday. No problems, no slow downs. Scale closed south of town.

1st stop was at a rest area near Williamsburg.

Noticed lots of road kill, even a mostly intact buck with a good rack. Also a few skunks, managed to miss them all.

2nd stop was the truckstop in Newton. It most mostly empty when we got there so we parked in the car lot. Decided to eat if they were open. They were. If we wanted to wait another 10 minutes we could have their Thanksgiving Buffet, but we ordered sandwiches instead. Not sure it would be a good idea to stuff ourselves and then try to drive another 300 miles. I had a patty melt and soup and BB had a BLT and soup. All was good. Food that is.

Once the buffet opened people started piling in. And filling the parking lot. The only spot open was one ahead of me, thank you for not filling that one or I'd have been there for a while. People had parked so close to BB that I had to guide her out. We pulled across the street to fill out our log books before heading out. Lunch had taken under a 1/2 hour, but then it took us another 15 minutes to get and pay for our bill.

The area is not doing good though. There used to be 2 or more name brand gas stations, now down to one off brand. Used to have a Best Western that closed and sits empty, a Days Inn that is now off brand and another one that may have been a Super 8 that is now an off brand.

Pratt was the thirds stop of the day. Fuel was cheaper there than down the road. But we stopped at Caseys and it was $.03 cheaper at Loves. At Casey's someone stopped and asked what part of OR we were from ... because we run on OR plates. Later in the day I saw a NC plate in the front window of someones truck ... but I didn't think quick enough to look to see if it was an AmeriFleet transporter. (where we used to work)

Next stop was in Meade. Even the truckstop was locked up. We should/could have stopped at a small Loves, but we would have had to park on the street. We've tried parking in the lot before and people were waiting for us by the time we got back to our RV's. The lot at the truckstop had huge crater holes in it. Not likely to stop there again.

It was about another 40 miles down to Liberal so we headed that way. Just used the rest room and headed the last 40 miles to Guymon.

Driving in to town I did not see any place open to eat. First question I had for the desk clerk at the motel was where can we eat. This Mc'D's is closed today. The closest place was Loves a mile down the street. So we walked it. They have a sub place, Chesters Chicken and Godfathers. We went for Chesters and then walked back. A good walk

Motel for the night is the Quality Inn, we've stayed here a few times before. The motel last night does not have a printer set up because 'people keep steeling the parts.' So we waited until tonight to print our NM permits. But I did get that done.

About a half hour before we got to Guymon I got a phone call, and then a text. Water issues at Mom's place again. It took the better part of a week for me to get that fixed last time. Luckily my brother was avail and got it 'fixed.' We'll see how long it is before we have problems again.

Tomorrow we will try to make it another almost 500 miles. Not sure if we'll try to make more or if it a situation of that is where the motels are cheaper again. That's been the case for not pushing on the last two nights.
