Rolling East ~ Day 1 through 4

Day 1 - Didn't roll out of Flagstaff until well after noon. I had wanted to get as far as Tucumcari NM but it was just getting too late.

We spent the night in the P-lot of the Route 66 Casino west of the ABQ.

Day 2 - was a LONG day on the road. We ran from ABQ NM to Shawnee OK. Started with a great breakfast at Wecks on Coors but then is was a long day on the road.

My lovely bride was maybe a little "testy" by the end of the day as we pulled up at the free RV Parking at the Fire Lake Grand Casino in Shawnee OK.

Day 3 - Off at the Crack of Noon. Today was Kristie Day... All decisions about where to stop for the day were hers. She discovered the Allstays app that lets her look up pretty much every campground along the route. She now has the job of finding our overnight stops. I think this will work out fine.

Day 4 dawns as we get ready to roll from just outside of Memphis, TN.

We had a crazy storm here last night with rain, hail, lightning... sounds kinda like what was going on in Flagstaff last night. Also it is NOT a DRY heat here in Forest City Arkansas!

Kristie Koontz Manning has encountered some southern wildlife. Toads, Texas speed bumps (read several dead armadillos on the side of the road), mosquitoes, and last night... AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! A TICK!

I am pretty sure we won't be moving to the south any time soon.

On the road early (after a thorough check for TICKS) to go visit our friends Chad and Peri in Sevierville TN.
