Left Nashville and it was chilly at 2C with ground fog but otherwise clear. Within a few hours it had all burned off and the temperature rapidly hit 20C. The drive was fine with great roads and maintaining 70mph was not an issue. We were celebrating our good fortune when we hit a detour that cost us over an hour, damn.

Arrived in Oklahoma around 16:40 and made it to our first try at a KOA campground in Chekotah. It is just off the highway although based on the noise you would swear it was built along the highway median but it is fine for what we wanted… quick highway access, no fuss, wi-fi and most important, laundry. Carla was tired of driving with the windows open, ha ha. All good now and with a just short drive north tomorrow morning we get to jump on one of the best remaining sections of the Mother Road, Route 66. As a Steinbeck fan I am looking forward to the National Museum in Elk City later tomorrow. And some of the original soda fountains and best burgers of the day.. More tomorrow. No pics today unless highway signs through a bug-riddled windshield is your thing.

5 days from tomorrow to make the meet-up and just 950 miles left to go! Lots of time now so we are slowing the pace.
