We were up at 7, had coffee and breakfast, packed up, and left the campground at 9. The only exciting thing all day happened right after we left the campground. An oncoming car flashed its lights at us. This usually means we have done something stupid like our steps are down or we are on fire. However, after we rounded a curve, we saw the problem. There were about 100 sheep being herded alongside the road by a cowboy and his working dogs. We were only delayed about 5 minutes, but it was really neat to see the cowboy and the dogs work the sheep. The dogs were quick to round up strays as they tried to cross the road. That is today's photo.
Then we drove south to Santa Fe. Ken had certainly picked the more scenic (if longer) drive up to Colorado, and I am so glad he did. Then it was on down to I 40 which we will follow until we get to Raleigh. We stopped at a rest area about 1 for lunch and for Bill to get a break. Then more driving. We arrived at Tucumcari KOA (we stayed here two years ago, and it is a nice park) about 4. We set up, got the satellite locked on, and relaxed.
This KOA has a little café that serves dinner and breakfast. You can pick it up, or they will even deliver it to your site. Bill decided he didn’t want to cook, so we ordered our dinner to eat here at the RV. I got chile rellenos pie, and he got chicken fried steak. It was surprisingly good. Mine came with some spicy black beans and a corn and zucchini side.
Bill found our next campground in OK. He was looking on RVparkreviews.com and found a casino in Shawnee OK that has free camping if you sign up for a $10 players card. It will be a 400 mile day tomorrow, but he is looking forward to free camping and maybe the chance to pay for gas at the blackjack tables.
