The Hard Drive Is Over




After 4 days and 1,500 miles the hard driving is over. We skipped sightseeing at the places we've been before. Driving through Arizona and New Mexico there were sooooo many trading posts, and/or outposts with Indian casinos galore. You can spend and/or lose your money in many different ways.










They all seemed to have blankets, jewelry, dolls, moccassins and whatever else your heart desired.
We drove by all of them!
One of the funniest things we saw was in a rest stop east of Oklahoma City. There was an area set aside for doggie pooping with the two signs you can see below.











One thing we have never encountered before in a campground was a below ground "Tornado Shelter" that can accommodate 50 people. Thank goodness we didn't have to use it.








Now we have a short drive to Devil's Den State Park south of Fayettesville, Arkansas where we'll spend the weekend. We will then be taking 2 weeks to see what surprises Arkansas has in store for us at Eureka Springs, Mountain View, Petit Jean State Park, Hot Springs, and Little Rock.
