“Live” from our Bread basket tour!!

[Jeff Blanchard]

Do Stock entries fill up very quickly at Ennis? How many grade points did it take to get in this year? Thanks Patsy and Larry for your reporting, I always appreciate it.

[Larry Hill]

You are welcome, Jeff. I don’t remember how many grade points it was to get in . We actually got in after it dropped below 65 while we driving down the road. Our bread basket tour was kind of a last minute decision and Dallas was full! Then I looked again and it was at 64! You just have to keep checking back.

We left Great Bend yesterday in the cold and drizzle like it was on Sat. By the time we dumped, filled up with water, then drove across town for propane, it was later than we had planned to leave. Then had to work on trailer lights and stop and get new plug! Then we lost an extra hour sitting in traffic in Oklahoma City! But I am proud of myself as navigator! I used Google maps on my phone and got us around the traffic!!

We are now at a casino in Thackerville, Ok. We didn’t get here til 8:30 or so. Then found truck, rv parking. Waited for shuttle to take us to Winstar, ate a decent meal. Then played about half an hour. Came out up a little $$!!

We will leave here shortly and drive about 90 minutes to stacking in Ennis!

Will post more then!!

Wow! What a tour you guys are making. How far west are you coming? Good luck and be safe.

[Larry Hill]

Floyd, this is as far west as we are going! Noble, OK next week, then back to St. Louis, then home!!

We want to wish “Happy Birthday” to our fearless leader Jeff Teuton today!! We will face southeast and toast you this evening!!

Well we got here to the track about 12:30 today to stacking. We are #15 after lots are already parked that are playing in the golf tournament tomorrow. I think they are playing just for early parking!!! We made a Walmart run and found a good place for lunch in Ennis at Bella Italia. Good enough that we would go back!!

Here are a few pictures from the trip down yesterday:




Our stop for trailer plug.
