FROM Y'ALL TO EH!!! Day 1 May 25, 2010 Grapevine to Williamsburg, KS

Today is the first day in the new chapter in the continuing saga in the lives of Rod and Kathy.  We left Grapevine, Texas this morning just after nine ( really early for us ) and headed north on Intersate 35 with the final destination being Ontario, Canada.   The day started out pretty good as we travelled north through Texas but as we got about 100 miles into Oklahoma we hit major construction and lost about 2 hours of driving time. But hey, who cares.

Oklahoma is a producer of natural gas, oil, and agriculture. The majority of the state lies in the Great Plains and the U.S. Interior Highlands—a region especially prone to severe weather.  Along with Kansas they are probably the two states that see the most tornadoes every year.  Glad we a just passing through. 

We left Oklahoma early in the afternoon and crossed into Kansas.  The traffic was pretty light so we were able to make up some time.  We noticed that the terrain in Kansas is very similar to Oklahoma in many parts and of course they share the tornadoes with their Okie neighbour.  Kansas is one of the most productive agricultural states, producing many crops,  leading the nation in wheat, sorghum and sunflower production most years. You will also see a lot of cattle ranching in the state.  We arrived in Williamsburg around six and decided to stay here for the night so we found a RV park and hooked up. 

It was good to get back on the road again.
