On the move again.

We finally escaped from Camp Tiffin this morning and headed to Fulton, AL to fill up the fuel tank on the motorhome.  I checked my Gas Buddy website and the Shell station there had diesel for $3.63.  Not a great price, but cheaper than most gas stations around Red Bay.

We had an unusual moment when we pulled into the diesel fueling area at the Shell station.  The phone rang and it was our friend Pat calling to see if we were on the road.  Gerry said we were in Fulton at the Shell station filling the fuel tank.  Lo and behold, they were at a Texaco station about a block from us doing the same thing.  They were moving to a local COE campground for the weekend and are waiting for new windows they ordered to be delivered to the Tiffin service center.  The girls chatted and agreed that we would meet them in Arizona this winter.

Other than the I-240, I-55 section around south Memphis and west of Little Rock, we had an easy drive today except for the usual road construction delays on I-40 in eastern Arkansas.  We were slowed down at times but traffic moved pretty good considering how many miles of one lane traffic there were on the route.

We are camped for the night in Morrilton, AR at a former KOA campground.  It isn't anything special but will serve our purpose for the night.  The plan is to get on the road early on Saturday and head for Oklahoma City, OK or possibly El Reno, OK.  Gerry wants to stop at a casino somewhere along the road, so it depends on how fast she loses her money.  Hopefully, she will win a lot and and we can move on quickly.  I can always dream, can't I?
