Well, we finally made it to Cherokee, OK.
We did miss a lot of the bad rains on the way back to Davidson, but the effects of what they had done during the night were evident as we made our way north.
A lot of rain had fallen during the night and the forecast is for more rain the next couple of days as the weather system is stalled over Oklahoma. One of the places we pass through had gotten eight inches overnight! They were working on getting the highway repaired in one spot, as the water rushing over the bridge had peeled off the top layer of pavement. You could see the fence lines with grass tangled on the top wire from the water running so high. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures, since we were on the move. With more rains expected, we will get some put up.
We got into Cherokee and got the camper nestled into it's new home. Al took a drive out with our farmer, while Marilyn did the important stuff...setting the dish up. After we cruised around town to see what crews were around, we headed over to Miss Dotties restaurant, our regular eating spot when we are in Cherokee.
We were out of bottled water for our dispenser, and since the grocery store in town had removed it's refill station, well, we had to go to Alva, 20 miles west, to the Walmart Supercenter to get refills. We checked out the campgrounds for familiar faces, and then got out of town just as the rains hit. It absolutely poured off and on all the way back to Cherokee, and continued through the wee hours.
Same old, same old...
