ART in ARKANSAS- Crystal Bridges!

Sketching along the Art Trail
The Crystal Bridges Buildings are Wonderful.  They are by Moshe Safdie,.
The American Art Collection  winds around the  Buildings.
All the work is well chosen and presented.  I love this Mark Rothko.
Another painting I liked.
The most delicious lunch of Shrimp and Grits!

I quickly walked through the Sam Walton Museum so I could get the 99 cent ice cream cone.

Butter Pecan was also Sam Walton's favorite.
I loved this campground in Springfield, Mo.  I went swimming in the rain and got wet!

I'm having a great time.

Windy Texas to Oklahoma

I take the shuttle from Amarillo KOA campground to Steak House.

My new BFF at steak house.  She and husband who looks just like this guy are going to Louisiana to see Duck  Dynasty. 
72 oz. steak in 60 minutes is free but I have delicious prime rib and back to campground in shuttle.



Cadillac Ranch just outside Amarillo, Texas.

I had been here 10 years ago but it looked different .
The graffiti was thicker and more colorful also spray cans of paint were scattered around the muddy cars.
Comments from tourists were in awe or disgust.  Just the response you want for art work. 


The 2nd Amendment Man, I think that means the right to bear arms.
This is Texas!


Leaving Texas onto Tulsa, Oklahoma.

ABF truck depot around the corner from KOA campground

Car show and Fireworks at casino right next to KOA campground.

Camping in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Summer June 21st Fireworks!

Don't Fence Me In

Highway 40 heading East

Arizona at last!
There is plenty of time for thinking on the road.  I am thinking I love it!  It feels free, fun and  filled with adventure.
What is it about the open road that lifts my spirit?  The wide open spaces.  Time is endless.  The road goes on and on.

Trucks are my friends.  That's my mantra.  Most trucks are reliable good drivers.  Some are scary!
Trucks and trains across the highway with goods.  I have seen 9 ABF trucks so far.   ABF is a load it yourself truck that
brought my goods across country.

I land at Circle Pines KOA campground in Williams, Arixona.  I hop right into the pool and then the shower.
After which I fire up my WiFi. I'm a happy camper going with luxuries this trip.


 I head for La Posado Hotel for breakfast.  I enjoy the Corn Maiden Delight!




Back on the road to Alburqueque, New Mexico.



I arrive at the KOA in Albuquerque  and jump into the pool.


My friend the KOA.  Swimming pool, clean restrooms and WiFi.



Heading for Texas.
