Started out about 9.30 am Sunday from Springerville. Spent the night at the Flying J in Albuquerque. Nice day for driving. Monday also sunny but had a headwind for the latter half of the drive to Amarillo, and it got cold. Snuggled into my sleeping bag until about 7.30 this morning. Fortunately, the wind had died down quite a bit but the rain clouds had lowered in. It spit rain all day and was chilly. So I've treated myself to a motel room with wifi and tv for the night, and a hot shower and hair wash in the morning (along with the complimentary breakfast of belgian waffles).
Oh yeah, I'm near Checotah, Oklahoma, about 150 miles east of Okla. City. I stopped at the Firelake Casino, on the Citizen Potawatomie reservation for lunch about 2pm.
And just before this exit is Lotawater Road next to Lake Eufala, largest manmade lake in the US (learned that on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader last week).
Should cross Arkansas tomorrow and then two days to cross Tenn. Looks like I will spend Friday night at the Amboy Road RV park and do a dump and flush on Sat. morning, then up the hill to Amy's. Should be able to come to Hazel & John's that evening (with presents).

I'm a future fulltimer, in an RV park starting June 1 while still working full time, but plan to "hit the road" after retirement 1/1/12.
I like the idea of pulling into a motel once in a while to take a long shower, eat in a nearby restaurant, stretch out in a big bed and watch all the TV I want. I don't read of many bloggers who do that, but I can see the benefits from time to time since I'd like to boondock most of the time. :)
