June 23 - Guymon OK

Made a short stop at Pecos National Historic Park and saw the church and ruins and we pushed to put some miles on.

The rest of the day was just flat land for the most part and nothing to stop and look at.  We were in Oklahoma half an hour when we ran into thunder, lightning, rain and hail.  Forgot to take any photos in the middle of all this as Norm kept saying we should turn around and I kept saying no, it’s an hour and a half back to a small town and ahead 20 miles to an actual town.  We were in that storm 20-30 minutes and then got through the other end.  However, I opened up the app StormEye on my phone which was showing yellows (severe thunder storms) and reds (tornado) so I was freaking out a bit.  Eventually, I figured out how to have it show exactly where we were in relation to all these colors and we were actually not in the middle at all.


There was a KOA campground in Clayton NM and we walked around the town a little and decided to drive on 100 miles to where the next campground was supposed to be since it was 3 pm and 95 degrees.  Well, we got to Guymon, OK and there were no campgrounds to be found so we’ve ended up in a motel.  Very disappointing after we just got the RV back after several days in a hotel.  We’re going to have to plan a little better.
