Day 2: Cattle and Casinos

Eight hours of driving today and we are on our 5th tank of gas. We have left Arkansas behind us and have made it halfway through Oklahoma, passing farmlands, cattle, more cattle, and casinos. It was a scorching 103 degrees all day today, although the humidity was much lower than what we are used to in Atlanta. The truck handled the heat well and effortlessly pulled our 14,500lbs Fifth Wheel, which could have been a little lighter if I had been able to decide what to bring. After considering all that could happen, I ended up making no decision at all and loaded up the RV with everything I could think of. Except something to secure the cabinet doors, leading to yesterday's unfortunate incident of my camera and lens being hurled out of a cabinet during driving. Camera and lens still check out ok so far.
Tonight's campground neighbors are great, a young family on their way back home to Florida after spending 40 days on the road through national parks in Washington, Oregon, and California, and a retired couple, who has been on the road for 2 months travelling through Michigan, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Montana. We absolutely love the RV community and the collective enthusiasm for travelling.
