National Land Judging Trip: Day 2

Jennifer | May 3rd, 2008 at 12:12 am

A late night promised an early morning. Before daybreak the team started to stir, and by 8 o’clock we were back on our western excursion. Stepping outside it was evident a storm was brewing, the wind was blowing and skies were dark, but we trudged on. Almost to Little Rock the radio broadcast issued tornado warnings about 30 miles north of us. Luckily we were traveling in a south western direction. We experienced pea sized hail, minor to others who were hit by tennis ball sized hail, the rain made it difficult to drive, and the wind was fierce. Although these conditions were not great for traveling the duration was minor, and soon we were back in warm, sunny weather before to long. We finally entered Oklahoma around noon. We stretched our legs at a rest area, and then piled back into the Tahoe continuing our quest to Oklahoma City. Periodically Jenny and I were caught napping, which made the ride rather peaceful for the navigators. We arrived in Yukon, just west of Oklahoma City, where our hotel is and unloaded our luggage. While in our rooms we located several farms which we will be practicing at tomorrow. Despite the flat land, it is beautiful here. The landscaping makes up for the rolling hills we are missing from home.
