Travel to Guymon

Wednesday, December  2, 2020 - Guymon, OK

On the news last night, we heard a snow storm is headed our way, but it was not supposed to arrive until sometime in the afternoon.  So we decided to get up very early and get on the road to avoid it.  As we turned and started driving west, we didn't like the look of the clouds.  They looked strange, and Mike thought they looked like snow.  So I pulled up the radar to see what we were headed for.  And unfortunately, the storm had shifted west and we were going to be driving right into the snow storm.  

When I looked at the radar it looked like we would be almost out of it by the time we got to Buffalo, OK, but instead it was getting worse.  I called Jess to have her look at the radar to see how much longer we were going to be in this storm and she said it extended all the way to Guymon......another 40+ miles.  During part of the drive, we were following a snow plow.  The roads did finally get a little better the closer we got to Guymon, but I can tell you I don't ever want to drive through a snow storm with the rig ever again!  Both the truck and the trailer were squirelly and being blown around on the slushy snow.  It turned a 4 hour and 40 minute drive into about 7 hours.

We finally arrived safe and sound at Corral Drive In RV Park in Guymon, OK.  We were both exhausted!  And the rig had a lot of snow and ice on it.

It also looks like the snow and ice tore some of the wire off the tail light on the truck...  We will have to see if we can get this fixed before moving on to our next location.

Here is a picture of our campsite.

And this campground really is a drive in movie theater.  :)

It was another wonderful day!??
