In the middle of nowhere-August 3, 2011

We got up really early this morning so we could get on the road before the sun came up and started baking our little brains. The problem with that is that we had to stop earlier. The heat and traffic got to us, so we stopped in the middle of nowhere, literally, in South Haven, Kansas. I mean there is nothing here. But we had to stop somewhere. We had a first this morning. In parts of Oklahoma there is some construction so interstates are forced down to one lane. We were in line like everybody else, following a semi. There was a pick up truck behind us that was loaded with glass windows. When we went back out to two lanes, he tried to dive at our front wheels and force us off the road. He was an idiot. We are a whole lot bigger and a whole lot heavier. He would have lost that battle badly. But Jerry refused to do battle with a man with no brains, so he just held the wheel until the goon got around us. There are some extremely rude people on the road. We just stay the course and keep calm. We are going to make a decision shortly on where we want to land tomorrow. I will say it is much cooler here than Oklahoma, only 103°! We wish we could find another park as nice as the one in Thackerville. That was fabulous.
