It was cold and windy again last night. There were sustained winds of 20 - 30 mph winds, with occasional wind gusts higher than that. The overnight temperature also dipped into the 20s. The sliders were in, the water hose disconnected, and the furnace was on during the night.
When we got-up we hooked up and got out of town despite the wind and cold temperatures. The good news was that the wind was from the north and we were heading south. The skies began to clear and the wind direction remained constant as we approached Oklahoma City.
After turning west at Oklahoma City on I-40 we continued our stop for tonight in Weatherford, OK, about 40 miles west of the city. The temperature was warmer (almost 80 degrees), the sun was out and the wind had subsided. We did pass through a wildfire smoke plume from a huge wildfire in NW Oklahoma. We are not near the fire but the plume is wind driven and extends over 100 miles downwind.
We are staying at a nice RV park, very new with lots of space, level pull-through concrete pads and pretty good Internet.
We will continue west tomorrow to Amarillo, TX. The weather looks good, but windy again.
