Wanderers, you should determine for yourself how long is too long on the road. I think today may have been too long for me, but was well worth it. I have reached Misty’s house in Oklahoma, A BRAND NEW STATE!

One of my major flaws is the inability to wake up early. I am not sure if being a night owl or a morning person is in our nature when we are born, but I recall mornings always being a struggle. It is an item on my list of things I would like to alter about myself. It is also one of the few items I fear I will never succeed at. Due to my inability to wake up early I hit the road later than planned. I had not repacked my car and organized everything to my liking before this morning. So after waking up late I reorganized my entire car. It is one area that I have been a bit OCD on this journey.

I had intended to meet up with Misty and the local Team RWB for a Flag Run, followed by a social. I arrived as everyone was getting their tab at the end of the social. It was a very very long day in the end. Initially I thought the drive was only 6 hours, turns out it was 10. That was not due to slow driving, that was due to my inability to understand geography. I used to think I was so good at geography and maps, this journeying is really making me start to wonder.

I hope to see OKC tomorrow, while Misty works. We stayed up way too late chatting tonight and catching up, but it was well worth it. The great thing about my friend Misty is that we met once over a year ago on a Team Rubicon Operation. It shows the connections we feel and find within the organization when relationships are built off of a single meeting. We have kept in touch through Facebook and texting, getting to know each other.  So this evening was our second face to face meeting, and it felt as if we were always in the same area.

Seeing as this is my first stop in a really new location, and part of my journey is to determine a new location to settle, I hope to have some time to visit around OKC and see if this is an atmosphere I would like to live in. I am grateful to be back on the road and am looking forward to what tomorrow holds!
