November 14, 2021. This morning we began our annual trek to Texas, traveling a couple hundred miles from northwest Arkansas to where we are now, Talihina, Oklahoma. I drove the entire way, and I’m grateful for an uneventful trip, the best kind. The route took us through the Boston Mountains in Arkansas and the Ouachitas in Oklahoma, so I got lots of practice with steep grades and taking a lot of curves. I’m grateful for the experience and the boost in my confidence.
I’m also grateful for the Harvest Hosts who allow traveling RVers to park for the night at their place of business, which is oftentimes their home, too. Tonight we are parked inside a 240-acre slice of heaven. I’m grateful that these Harvest Hosts are so welcoming, kind and hospitable, and I’m also grateful that we get to see a part of the country not seen from interstate highways.
I thank God for the life I have, the people I get to meet along the way such as these Harvest Hosts and this great big beautiful country I get to experience. 🙏🏽
