8/31: Heading northwest to Albuquerque. Overnight stops for the next several days.
Almost no traffic on this Sat morning on I-35 North. Construction by Ft Worth--very slow-moving traffic.
Since coming into the rolling hills area of Texas near Ellinger, we keep seeing signs advertising "kolach." What is it? . . . of course, google had the answer--Czech-Slovak sweet pastry with fruit filling.

THACKERVILLE, Oklahoma - FUN TIME RV PARK
One of the best rv parks we've been in, and free for the first night. It's part of the casino; however, no shuttle because of Covid.
Large grassy sites with paved pad, picnic table area. Everything immaculate. Nice pool that we used in the evening. Looked forward to cooling off from this 100 degree heat. Wrong! The water was like a hot tub.
Too bad we're only here for overnight. Great place to spend more time.

9/1: More construction slowdowns again along I-35. Very overcast and some light sprinkles, but thankfully no bad storms as predicted.
WEATHERFORD, OK - Wanderlust Crossings RV Park
Easy off/on I-40. Another great park. All paved; grassy sites, paved pads, picnic tables; nice landscaping; well maintained.
Really nice coy ponds with little waterfalls at the entrance. Fun seeing a male & female road runner.

Don't usually unhook for one-night stays; however, a Braum's ice cream is in town and cannot resist. Route 66 into town for burger and great sundaes.

Drove back along pretty country roads. Cooled off in evening to enjoy a walk around the park as the sun set.

9/2: Nice to get up to mid60's in the morning. Continuing west on I-35. Very hazy, but not much traffic.
Gray County Texas Rest Stop really nice and interesting. Info placards about the area--plains, windmills, farming. Nice picnic tables high on hill overlooking the plains and gully. Great views.

AMARILLO, TX - Oasis RV Resort
- have stopped here several times on our travels this way. Love their entrance homage to Cadillac Ranch, which is right down the street.
Always a great sunset here in the desert.
