We decided to take a short walk around some of Red Rock Canyon SP before having an easy prep breakfast. We stopped to dump our gray tank at the exit to the SP and hooked up our CRV. We were leaving the park by 8:30 and then stopped for gas.

After some debate and checking the weather in several cities, we decided to take Interstate 40 and then Interstate 81 to PA. We think it will be more scenic and will have no tolls compared to Route 44 and then Interstate 70. I guess time will tell if we made the right decision, but I think it will be a more enjoyable drive.
We drove along the outskirts of Oklahoma City, another rather busy area where Ken had to stay very focused.

We stopped to get gas early in our travels, at the Visitor's Center when we entered Arkansas, and then stopped at a Subway for lunch. I spent a lot of time searching for a CG while we were driving and we finally decided on a KOA at North Little Rock. It is a good CG for an overnight stay, since we have a long level site and we could keep the CRV attached. We had driven 384 miles today arriving at the KOA at 4:15.
During our drive, I talked to Melissa and they were leaving Antelope Canyon area and going to Canyonlands. Then they we slowly head back to Nashville! We miss our card playing times and everything in between!
I also talked to my sister, Cindy, who had been at the hospital to see Dad. He was more improved today and was able to drink and eat by himself. They also had him sitting in a chair. He is off his antibiotics and should be able to return to Masonic Homes in the near future.
After dinner and clean-up Ken disconnected the water and we took a short walk around the CG. Also had a nice conversation with Ken's sister, Priscilla.
We will probably spend a long day driving tomorrow, so we will go to bed early.
Keeping you in our thoughts. Safe travels.
