Hello again,
Our stop-over at the Route 66 Casino was good but we're getting tired of "buying" the Indians.jpg)
more Tee Pees! We enjoyed a good meal, some slots and Pat got to play Bingo. I consumed a few brews and hit the laptop to catch up on things.

more Tee Pees! We enjoyed a good meal, some slots and Pat got to play Bingo. I consumed a few brews and hit the laptop to catch up on things. The ride from the Casino to just west of Amarillo, TX was uneventful except for the poor bird who flew into the nose of our motor home. We continue to be impressed by the very long cargo trains that head east and west along side route I-40.
What was really cool was when we caught up and began to pass the locomotive on the left, the .jpg)
engineer blasted his horns at us to say hi! Pat asked if he is blowing his horn for us. He had to be. There was no one or anything coming up on his track, and there just happened to be no one ahead or behind us for nearly a mile. I waved as we slowly gained on him and passed him by. Our speed was 65 mph. He was doing about 60, and that's moving when you consider that he's about a 1/4 mile long! (See how simple things can amuse you when your on a looonnnnng ride!)

We have nearly 1000 miles to get to Nashville on Wednesday. We have two stop-overs planned... oh yeah, did I mention one of them might be at a casino!!
