Yesterday, Friday, I had to travel from OKC to Branson for a quick one day trip up and back. Mostly driving on I-44 to Springfield, and then HWY 65 to Branson.
I noticed the highways were full of folks pulling boats, Travel Trailers, 5th Wheels, lots of Motorhomes (saw 3 on the side of the road, one had a wrecker hooking up, and the others were waiting). Most of these folks looked like the long weekend crowd.
Just a few observations: a mini-van pulling a pop up that was wagging all over the road, I was driving 75 on the turnpike and he passes me, eating a big ice cream cone. I saw two F-150's pulling at least 30' trailers, both were way down at the hitch and their front was in the air. Don't know how they were steering. Three boats all with flat tires.
Anyway, with all the traffic; it reminded me that's why I never camp or travel on any holiday. I hope they all arrived safely and are enjoying the weekend, but not for me!
