Windy, wet and cool as we walked to the office for a motel breakfast. Lots to choose from and we ate plenty. We waited until 10:15am to head out to do battle with the elements as the weather map showed a 3-4 hour semi dry period. We had a nice tailwind and just a light mist for the 26 mile ride to Hardtner and our lunch stop. The buffet was loaded with all kinds of homemade items and they all smelled good. We ate our $10s worth and were stuffed. We stopped for photos at the Kansas/Oklahoma stateline before we continued south to Alva. The next 16 miles was a blur as it was done in just 1 hour. Our flags went limp at 21 mph which means we had a Grrrreat tailwind. We stopped at Wal-mart for some supplies and to check the weather forecast on Dee's smartphone. Rain and more rain for tonight. We stopped at 4 or 5 motels and they were all full, oilfield workers they said. We finally found a room and it was expensive for what we got but camping out in the rain didn't sound like a good idea. We took long showers and felt better now that we were warm and clean. Guess what, the rain has started to fall so we are going to eat in the room and watch tv until we fall asleep.
