Getting to Clinton OK moves me out of much of the East Coast covid areas. Its still here but at lower levels. Folks here are more casual about mask wearing, much like Bandon was when we had 0 cases in Coos County for so long.
Not too many exciting things to show in the blog today. I got away about 7:30am leaving Mountain Home AR I quickly was on US 412 which for awhile was a 2 lane road but later widened.
I've found that a good place to stop of a pit stop if you don't need gas and there isn't a rest area is a Walmart. Everyone is required to wear a mask and the restrooms are always just inside the area where you enter the store. In and out...easy peasy!
The driving day was US 412 for about half the time and Interstate the rest. Spongy and I did make a stop in OK at a rest stop. Susan had called and the rest stop was coming up so it was a convenient place to stop and chat!
I had my first experience with the interactive traffic feature of Google Maps. Interstate 49 was just fine but I got a notice that there was a shorter route available. It turned out that there was a back up on 49 that was holding people up for 20 or 30 minutes and google routed me around it through some back roads in the area.
I am headed for Albuquerque NM tomorrow, another mostly interstate day..ho hum... :)
