Days 1 & 2

This Salt Flat on the first night.


This is Johnson Lake on the second night.


We left Sheridan at about 5:30 on Friday morning. It was before dawn. Our first stop was Day and Night in Sheridan, Grammy had to have a diet Coke to start the day. Then we were on our way. The next stop was McDonald's in Russellvile. Then the next stop and first photo op was the welcome center in Oklahoma. We finally settled at Great Salt Plains State Park. It is just outside of Jet, OK on the banks of the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River. It was just beautiful. The pictures are taking too long to upload so I will try later.

We left at about 8:30 this morning. The first stop when I was trying to get to the pump for diesel fuel, I side-swiped the poles that protects the pumps. Not once, but twice. It actually looks worse than it is. The rest of the day went pretty smooth. We landed at Johnson Lake State Park, close to Lexington, Nebraska. We are on to Custer State Park, ND tomorrow.
