Heading West - Aug 1, 2007 - Norfork, Arkansas, United States

OUR FIRST LONG RV TRIP The time has finally arrived for our first long journey in an RV. Our current RV is a 2006 Jayco Feather Light 29N, and we pull it with a 5.4 L, 2005 F150 truck. We departed the house in Norfork, AR, about 7:30 a.m., stopped for gas and fast food breakfast, then on to the Todd's to pick up the RV. We departed the Todd's at 9:10 a.m. headed for Buffalo, WY, via Springfield, Kansas City, and St. Joseph, MO, the first day. We used Good Sam Club routing for the trip and they routed us through the heart of Kansas City. It was definitely a white knuckle drive for me. Kay, the navigator, and Donald, the driver, had a robust conversation about the route. Kay began doublechecking the Good Sam Club route because we don't like going through large cities with our 51 feet of length. We began picking up a few motor cycles above Kansas City heading for the Harley rally at Sturgis, SD.
