More Driving--more added on Saturday--look for red font

       After breakfast at the motel we started down the road again, this time to Erick, Oklahoma. Just out of OKC there were two pretty bad accidents, both involving semis and other cars. We were backed up for quite some time; four tow trucks made there way to the accidents.

Just a little while later it started to rain. Within minutes of this picture, it really started coming down. For about 10 or 12 minutes (it seemed like much longer), it was hard to even see the road. We may be the only vehicle that slowed down.

Now we are here in beautiful downtown Erick. At the Days Inn--

 

We had our choice of this or the Motel 6. I wonder if Motel 6 has some outlets available for things like cell phone chargers, computers, Cary's battery charger and the dryer for his cochlear implant device. This one doesn't. The few outlets here are behind heavy furniture and are being used for the fridge, microwave and some lamps. Who would think to bring a power strip to a motel? This is a first. Also Cary could never get the closed captioning to work on the TV. Every motel has had different TVs, and all seem to be smarter than we are!

I hope breakfast looks this interesting in the morning. Both these motel pics are from the Internet. Well, it wasn't! Not that many of the motels have had much to offer. Fruit would have been nice, and yogurt.

Along with this one of an old car by an old motel. Because this place is on the old Route 66, there were/are hopes for a revitalization of the town.
