Tulsa, OK

A pretty dull drive today, nothing much to see, good thing, too, since the camera is broke!!

We arrived at Mingo RV Park in Tulsa...Kathleen picked it out from Woodalls...it looked good in the ad. What a shithole! It is mostly a permanent residence park...a different breed than vacationers. First we had to wait until someone moved their car, parked in our spot. We squeezed in the spot (backwards), easy to do with our two-way radios. (thank you Meribeth)
Kathleen refused to come out of the RV, too many cigarette butts on the ground!

We changed, relaxed a bit then set out for the Cherokee Casino!! It was huge, many table games and slots, of course. We decided on slots since the table games were a little pricey. Kathleen was the lucky one...she hit for $85 on wheel of fortune and also made about $40 on slots. I, on the other hand, lost, lost,lost!! On the way back to the RV park, Kathleen made a plea to stay in a Ramada we passed. I said it would be contrary to the design of our trip, since I was driving, I won. We returned to the RV park, in the dark, and found a pick up truck parked in our spot!! Neither one of us wanted to chance rousting the truck owner in the dark, so after grabbing a mat we had left there, we went to the office to get the manager. After getting our money back, Julie gave in and we headed to the Ramada. There was no wireless in the Ramada so I had to wait to blog! Kathleen was happy in her hotel room and they had a free breakfast buffet in the morning!
