Just a few miles north of Paris, TX and south of Oklahoma. Spent last night here and will stay tonight also. It's a COE park so only water and electricity hook ups. It's a good day to sit tight because the winds would have made driving miserable. I hope they let up by tomorrow. We may drive the car into Paris and look at the replica of the Eiffel Tower.
On yesterday's drive we saw where a train had derailed sometime in August. The cars were crushed pretty bad. It was about 30 miles east of Texarkana next to Hwy 82. Crews were still working at the site. After some searching I found that 37 cars carrying frac sand and steel coils derailed.
Edit 7:30 pm 9/10
Today was the 1st day in weeks that we were able to keep the windows open for fresh air rather than using the AC.
Heading for Copper Breaks SP between Wichita Falls and Amarillo tomorrow. Winds have subsided now.
