Oklahoma City

From Memphis we headed towards Oklahoma City. We stopped in Alma, Arkansas at a RV resort and stayed the night. That night we had and electrical storm and wind. The next morning the storm had past and we were in sunshine again. On our coCheck Spellingntinued drive to Oklahoma City we stopped at a casino for a rest and lunch stop. We thought while we were here we might as well see if we can make enough to pay for lunch. We made $46.00 between us and when we looked at the restaurant menu we didn't see anything we would like, so took our money and left. We had lunch in the motorhome instead. We continued our drive and along the way the wind picked up. By the time we got to Oklahoma City we were battling a pretty good wind & we were ready to stop. We also wondered what Oklahoma did with the road tax. Hwy 40 west from the Arkansas border left much to be desired. Bumps, cracks, holes was much the order of our drive. Horrible condition. We stayed at the Rockwell RV Resort on the west end of the city. We were parked along the fence as all available spots were taken. We had full hookups there and this was fine because we weren't planning on spending time there. The first night there we went to Toby Keiths 'I Love this Bar and Grill' restaurant. We walked around the 'Bricktown Center' and thought we must come back and investigate more. The next morning we spent over half the day at the Alfred P. Murrah Memorial site. More on this in a separate blog. After this we went back to Bricktown and walked around and sat and watched people. An interesting and inviting and relaxing place to be. On the grounds just beyond the parking lot the city is creating a reenactment of the homesteading of land in Oklahoma.
