We had some business to attend to in Grayling Thursday morning so we only got to Litchfield, Illinois before stopping for the night.  The motel was about 50 miles north of St. Louis. Later the next day, to make up for lost time,  Bill had to give in and put a real speedster behind the steering wheel - as you can see below.

Soon we were flying past Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Lawton, Oklahoma.  She almost drove off the road when she saw the place below....

.....but Bill convinced her that there would be other casinos later in the trip.  We noticed that down in these parts the gambling establishments are run by Indian Tribes like Comanche and Apache instead of Chippewa and Ottawa.

So instead of ending our journey by driving into the sunset, we are starting this one by doing so.  This is what Texas looked like on our last section of driving going toward Wichita Falls where we spent Friday night.
