Today I convinced Wayne that we needed to stop at a tourist stop. Clines Corners is really similar to the French River Trading Post. It was lots of fun to check out all the touristy goodies. We each bought a t-shirt and some other items.
I am very glad that today was a short travel day. We have noticed that the wind picks up each afternoon. Today they are quite strong beginning as we finished setting up camp. The breeze does a great job of reducing the temperature. It was 85 F. I got quite a dose of sun while we were travelling. My face and arms are red. They don't hurt though.

We have been stopping at rest stations all along the interstates.

Petrified wood |

Thousands of years ago, trees died and instead of rotting away they petrified. The tree feels like stone. That's how dry it is.
Tomorrow is a big day. We travel through 2 states - Texas and Oklahoma. We will stop at Elk City, OK for the night.
