Day 7 - Homeward bound...


I exited my room this morning and it’s positively cold, feels like 10c so an extra top has to be sourced quickly from the depths of the suitcase. No weather today so it’s back to the Wyndham Gardens in Oklahoma City and the flight home tomorrow lunchtime.
Breakfast this morning is at Dawson’s Family Restaurant which is fine. We set of from Childress and head west to Lubbock to visit the Buddy Holly Centre. The Centre is ok with a room full of memorabilia including his actual glasses recovered from the plane crash and a short tribumentary playing on a loop which is actually quite interesting. We’re then off east with undulatus asparatus clouds to our south. These clouds are so new…they didn’t even have a name a year or so ago. Seriously. Onwards we go on US82 towards Wichita Falls via Seymour where we stop for a Subway (tuna with all the “veggies”).
We stopped at the Saltgrass in Oklahoma City for a team steak tonight, unfortunately had to wait for 90 minutes as everywhere is full of students going through graduation. Beers in a second in the hotel.  I’ll go through the motions of what I call packing later. All being well we’ll be back home late Monday morning.

Total miles: 495
