Since our last report, we took some extra rest time in OK, crossed AR, diverted a bit into MS for 2 nights as we waited for some weather to pass us, and have now traveled more than half way across TN. Not much to share in photos this time, since we are mostly on the move with an intent to be in PA in two to three days. We did spend some time in Tunica where we confirmed that Harrah's is indeed closing. This includes 3 hotels, the casino, the RV park, golf course, shooting range, etc. We've visited this property a number of times over the years and it really is sad to see this, especially for most of the employees since there are few options available to them in this area.
Today is Thursday, May 8, 2014 and we are taking a break from our current travels at Catfish Round-Up and RV Park in Seminole, OK. Over the last few days we have driven across Arizona, New Mexico, the Texas Panhandle, and a bit more than half of Oklahoma. We're expecting to be in PA by sometime in the third week of May.
In the last week before leaving Parker, AZ, we enjoyed a nice visit with Tracy and Jeff including a short jaunt to Havasu Landing, CA, and we later joined them for a day in 'Vegas as they prepared to return to Alaska.
We've not had the best of luck with internet connections since we've been on the road, but wanted to share our trip photos as best we can to give you a sense of what you are missing. We're not able to provide captions and some photos are impacted by bugs on the windshield, high winds, dust in the air, unsteady photographer, etc. Some side trips included Window Rock and Church Rock. We have been in some really nasty winds, blowing dirt more than we have ever experienced. Photos are at this link.
