I woke up at about 7 and hit the road after taking care of a few necessities. I drove about half the day and then hit a point in Arkansas where traffic just stopped. It was construction though as near as I could tell, there was nothing going on. I had the good fortune of hitting the traffic about a mile before an exit where I felt I could get around everything. Most truckers who were going around were turning left so I turned right to a way that was a little longer but I did not think there would be any traffic. After about a mile, I figured out why no one was going that was, it is a gravel,dirt road. I bumped along for about 6 miles turned to parallel 40 and then went about 8 miles back to the road and it turns out I made the best choice because everyone who stayed on the road had to take a detour that went the way everyone else went, a two lane road. When I finally got back to 40, I hopped on and was the ONLY person on 40 for about 10-15 miles and was grateful I had taken the longer road because it saved me SO much time.
I finally arrived at Tinker AFB at about 6 or so and Michael met me at the visitor gate. It was good to see him. We walked inside and the person staffing the desk started to ask us questions. Michael was giving answers like he thought he wanted to drive but since he was not insured so being the busy body I am, I butted in and answered and then apologized later to him hoping I did not mess anything up. I did not want to have to get him insured and then wind up having to give my info anyway because at least part of the time I would have had to come and go on base without him in the car.
After I got a shower, we went to dinner at this Korean place Michael suggested and I had Bulgogi for the first time, I enjoyed it.
