Journey #2

Just one of those amazing scenes in Oklahoma

Oops #2 - Sunday, in Oklahoma, after seeing many deer and elk warnings, Linda spotted a deer far enough away not to be concerned, then looked up to see one close beside the car. Yup, it ran into us. It hit the back side of the car, not too big of a dent, and luckily was able to jump up and run off. Could've been so much worse.

We spent the night in Guymon, Oklahoma, as this is Linda's maiden name.

This is not one of our favorite scenes but was one we had to endure.

Oops #3 - Monday night as just before reaching our motel in Little Rock, Arkansas, Jim's ears finally popped after the the decent from Vail, CO. As we pulled into the motel Jim said he felt a little dizzy. By the time we got to our room, he was really bad. By morning he was quite nauseated as well as dizzy so we ventured to the emergency room. From 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., they took blood tests, chest x-rays, EKG's, and a CAT scan of his head. Yes, he stills has a brain and he still has a heart. It all came out as vertigo. The medicine they give for that makes him very sleepy, and takes time to get rid of the dizziness. So, Linda had to drive the rest of the way. That included the Atlanta beltway (7 lanes each direction) and into Columbia. She actually did it without any panic attacks! Don't want to do it again.

This is one part of the Atlanta beltway. Here you see when it is only 6 lanes and less traffic.
