We did go out to the lake yesterday. Had a great time. It's forecast to warm up later this week. 59 for a high on Saturday.
The roads are ok, but considering all the quarters they get from drivers, they could be way better! LOL!
Yep, take a roll of quarters or save up between trips and throw them into a catcher thingy, or go through the line and give them bills if you run out of change. People who have to drive them a lot get a “Pike Pass” and it lets them go zooming through a separate lane.
I’m glad we only have a very few of these in Texas and none near where I live.
((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?
Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))
It goes well for a pretty cold, cloudy day. Looking forward to my trip up to your neck of the woods later this week! :)
Hope you and Bo are having a good week!
I remember the Oklahoma Turnpike and one rest area (Vinita, OK) in particular. It had a MacDonald's in an elevated walkway that let you get from either side to the MacDonald's! Pretty cool at the time.
Just finished installing this month’s Windows Updates on my Windows 7 computer. 6 updates this month.
Good to know. I have a Windows 8 that I’m sure is ready for updates as soon as I shut down. :)
I’m sure the McDonald’s is still there. We travel from the Texas border to OKC on the H E Bailey Turnpike and those rest stops come in very handy!
I just wish they’d make the roadways smoother. It’s like they have never resurfaced them!...even as there is construction all the time for one thing or the other.
However, they ARE better than most of the other roads in OK. LOL!
How cool is that!
