During the night I woke up and there was a lot of lightening outside.  I woke Jim and he went outside and got our chairs so they wouldn’t get wet.  Just as he finished, it started to rain. He plugged in the weather radio and we listened to it.  We went back to bed and a few minutes later the weather radio alarm went off.  There was a line of thunderstorms from Cache to Oklahoma City producing hail and 60 mile per hour winds. Thank goodness we didn’t get any of the high winds.

We hooked up and struck out for Oklahoma City.  Our friends Kim and Steve moved there from Sugar Land.  We stopped in Medicine Park at the McDonald’s so Jim could research places to stay near them and update the blog for the past two days.  We found a site just outside Edmond on a really pretty lake, unhooked and then drove to Kim and Steve’s.  They gave us a tour of their house when we arrived. They bought a beautiful house in a very nice gated community.

Steve drove us to McNellies Pub and then showed us around town.  We all stopped and found a geocache and then went by the memorial to the Oklahoma City bombing.  Then we drove through Steve’s work complex at Chesapeake Energy.  They wanted to try a Belgian pub and we had very large order of French fires.  Then we went back to their house and Steve and Kim grilled steaks and corn on the cob.  Afterward we watched Ice Road Truckers.  We had dessert to serve but everyone was too full, so we saved that for tomorrow.
