19 Jun
A short travel day today. We launched out of the Out-Back RV Park in Chouteau OK at 0948 hrs and with a 157 mile drive today and drive time of 2:48, we arrived at the Mustang Run RV Park at 12:36 hrs. We stopped once for a potty break and no fuel stops. The drive was basically all Interstate and a really straight shot. The RV Park office did not open until 1300 hrs so we loitered for a bit and walked Liberty. By 1300 hrs it was getting pretty steamy out with temps over 90F and "feel's like" over 100F.
It was "Deja vu" rolling in here as we stayed here in 2019 on our way back from California when I had a synovial cyst on my spine. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced. I could barely walk, but luckily I could sit and drive so we made it home alright. Once we got home I had an MRI and this is what it looked like:
Surgery was successful with instant relief and I walked out of the hospital on my own power and was at home in my easy chair, pain free, by 1400 hrs that same day!
So I am really looking forward to seeing some of the sites in Oklahoma City that I was unable to see last time, such as the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. We will be here for four nights, departing on Thursday 23 Jun and heading to Wichita KS.
Our home for the next four nights, Mustang Run RV Park, is very nice and clean. The roads are paved. The sites are paved and full hook-up. The grass is green, irrigated and manicured. The swimming pool is clean and blue. If there were a negative, it would be that the sites are a bit close. A few pictures:
No neighbors on the door (right) side
A bit tight on the off-door (left) side but we don't do anything there to speak of
Not far is the tornado shelter (foreground)

Another Alliance coach straight ahead of us.
