Sunday - Left West, Texas around 10:00am on Sunday the 27th, headed for Ardmore, OK. Short drive today (2 hrs 51 min). We plan to stay at “Hidden Lake RV Park” just outside Ardmore. We really like this place and camp there whenever we’re in the area.
We had planned to fuel up at Gainesville, Tx but never did see a Murphys station so we drove on to Marietta, Ok. The gas gauge showed 1/8th of a tank as we pulled into a 66 station. Apparently the fuel gauge reads a little “off” as JW put 60.8 gal in the tank (it holds 75 gal) $3.29 p/gal, $200.00, Ouch!
On a non related note, JW thinks we have a battery going bad. When he shut the MH off to fuel, it wouldn’t start back up later. The station manager had some jumper cables and got the job done. (JW had bought a 1000 Amp Battery Pack in Corpus Christi, but it wasn’t charged up yet). JW has noticed that when we park the coach overnight with the shore power plugged in, the coach’s chassis batter is just fine, so will have to have this problem investigated.
Anyhow, we arrived at “Hidden Lake” at about 2:30 or so. Got all setup, had supper and watched one of our favorite shows, The Amazing Race. Tomorrow, Joplin, stay tuned . . .

Monday – Once again, we left at 10:00am headed North. Pretty windy today (strong winds out of the west). We planned to fuel up in Sapulpa, OK, so JW exited onto Hwy 66 into Sapulpa and wouldn’t you know it, somehow he missed the Murphy station (This seems to be becoming as habit). Sooo, on to Joplin. (We finally gassed up at Miami, OK on the turnpike).
We arrived at the Joplin KOA at approx 5:00pm, setup and met John and Peggy Danner for vittles. John and Peggy are good friends of ours and used to work at Silver Dollar City with us. They took us to “Jim Bob’s Steak and Ribs” on Rangeline, where we ate and visited for a couple of hours. Back at the MH at 8:00pm. Tomorrow, Branson . . .
