San Antonio to Thackerville OK

This will be a short update of our travels today. We pulled out of the park right at 8am and headed north on 37 towards the 410 by-pass around San Antonio. For some reason there was more traffic than I thought there would be that early on a Saturday but we did move right along. Larry kept the speed at 59 most of the day which is within "my" comfort zone.

Heading into Austin the traffic picked up even more and pretty soon we were just barely moving. We thought there was a accident ahead of us but we found out that wasn't it. When we are heading south in the fall I always try to check to see if there's any football games in the towns we travel. Who'd of thought I would have to check for stupid baseball games. Once we were pass the exit for the stadium it cleared right up. At least this time we didn't have any panic stops like the last two times.

Traveling thru Fort Worth wasn't bad. I like this route better than the one going around Dallas but can't do anything about that when we take the eastern route home.

Weather was good, sunny skies, but a bit of a head wind. Larry had to adjust the temperature on the air as it was getting chilly.

So after 348 miles we arrived at Winstar Casino RV Park. in Thackerville OK. For those of you traveling this route (especially with big trucks) this is the place to stop. Pull thru sites are at least 90ft long, all sites are easy in and out with huge wide streets. And if you tell them you want a players club card they give you the first night free, otherwise it's $21.

That's it for today. Till next time.............................
