Life on the road continues to be good as we leave Branson, MO for Oklahoma City, OK, or "OKCity" as the natives prefer. 329 miles later, with Doris driving half of them, and we're hunting for a Blue Beacon Truck Wash, so well concealed that we enjoyed(?) some extra "touring" to locate it. "Betsy the Bus" definitely needed a full shower and waxing after nearly 7,000 miles of being assaulted by everything the roads and weather of America can toss at her.
With a shiny "new" look that made us look less like trailer trash, we made our home at the nearby Elks Lodge which provided a pool, playground and 10 acres of prime OKCity land on which to park for the night. Lodge members so ingratiated themselves that it was hard to leave, except for the smoke. That's the one thing that has bothered us with so many establishments in the east/midwest: Smoking patrons and members. Whew! At least we made new friends and had a fun time doing it before retiring for the night.
