A long & windy driving day

Today we drove from Sallisaw, Oklahoma to Elk City, OK, about 250 miles. There were strong winds whipping through the plains to the tune of about 30mph. Rich said his arms and shoulders were tired after driving because of trying to keep the RV on the road in the strong winds. I've included some pics above of the RV in our campsite, the creek in the campground, the smokey sky, and the sign we saw when we entered Oklahoma. The smokey sky pic is because the sky is smokey here, not sure what's burning, maybe a brush fire? You can faintly smell it. We were originally going to stay at a Wal Mart tonight, but this place is a pretty good deal with full hookups (although sites are close together), cable TV and wi-fi for $22/night. We were excited to fill up our tanke for $2.01/gallon today. I'm not sure if gas is coming down all over the country, but we seem to find cheaper places, the further west we go. I'm sure it'll change once we hit California.

We did stop and have a pretty good mexican lunch....somewhere in Oklahoma. Rich was excited to see "real" cowboys, complete with hats & wearing spurs.

A funny thing about Snuggles, is that when she's on top of her cage, which is sometimes on the kitchen table, she likes to "spy" on people outside the RV. Above is a pic of her "spying" on a lady outside sleeping. Spaces are close here, so they are only about 5-10' from us.

I'm not sure when we'll have internet again, so I wanted to make a blog post, even though there's not much to report other than we're driving, driving, driving.
