Arrival in Lawton

Made it safely to Oklahoma today. Drove another 700 miles. Got a better start this morning and was on the road by 7:00. Drove through the rest of Tennessee , all the way through Arkansas to Oklahoma City and then down to Lawton. I'm pretty tired now though and the internet here at the Quality Inn is pretty spotty so I won't bother with pictures or any more complete sentences. Highlights today:

-Saw a couple crop dusting planes in Arkansas. At first I thought they were going to crash into the highway. Close one.

-Ate lunch at the Old South Restaurant in Russellville, Arkansas. It was very old....and very southern. I asked for blue cheese on my salad and the waitress warned me that it was "old southern style" which mean loaded with garlic. It tasted weird.



-Oklahoma has the nicest "Welcome Center" of the whole trip down. Free Coffee! Perfect.




-Passed a bunch of Indian Casinos here in Oklahoma. I guess the trail of tears ends up in a big slot machine.



-Saw a bunch of funny things on the road. Took pictures of most of it. Will post some other time.



-Got to Lawton and had to go to 3 hotels before I found a room. I asked the nice woman at the registration desk if she had any recommendations for dinner. "Do you like buffets?" she asks me. I like this woman.

It's off to bed now as I have an early morning at the apartments tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll actually be staying in one of the units we've decorated as a model although I think I have to actually get DSL installed in the apartment. We'll see if phone companies are as responsive in Oklahoma as they are in West Virginia.
