Morning status

I told my folks at dinner last night that I was going to get up at 5 so I could be on the road by 6. They were both frightened and suspicious. I explained that I was saying so in order to make myself get up at 6 and be on the road by 7, which I have managed. With coffee.

George made it from Oklahoma City to Portales, NM late last night, putting him in striking distance of the campground. Evan said he’d be getting on the road around now, too, from Tulsa. And I’m coming up from Austin.
