Back to the Green

As we mentioned in the prior posting, we used 2 days to get to Amarillo TX, so we are now back in the Central time zone.  The lack of freezing temperatures didn’t quite work out as expected, however.  There was one more freezing night in the forecast – Monday.

 

At least we now have a working thermostat, and we have our choice of gas or electric heat at night.  Our issue with heating continues however, since we learned over these two days that the engine heat doesn’t get to the front seats when we are driving.  The vents and air conditioning work fine, but we haven’t needed that since we got to New Mexico.  We still have plenty of time to get to eastern Oklahoma by the end of the week, so we had the Freightliner service group in Amarillo look at it Tuesday morning.

 

They had us in and out in less than 2 hours, since they couldn’t do anything about it.  They said we had to take it up with Winnebago.  Now that the temperatures are supposed to go up, and since we are nearly done traveling for awhile, we will hold off and have a few remaining repairs made at the Winnebago plant in late April.

 

We got out of Amarillo early enough and the weather was good enough (although cool) that we kept going to Oklahoma City.  We will be watching the weather forecast closely before deciding if we travel closer to Tahlequah where our project is or sit out the wind on Wednesday.

By the way, today's title refers to the fields alongside the Interstate.  We haven't seen green fields since we don't know when.  They sure are good see once again (trees too).
