We left Peculiar headed south and decided to find a spot for lunch near Joplin. Not much of the storm damage is visible from the Interstate by the way. Right at the Missouri state line we noticed a casino and thought that would be a good place to stop for lunch. They have big parking lots. We did pull off to the side in the casino parking lot to have lunch and a fellow who was staying at the Casino RV Park came by with his dog and informed us the RV park was free if you went in to register. You can stay 3 nights free and it is $15 after that. After a few minutes discussion we decided to stop for the night. It is about 60 to 70 miles short of our planned destination but the planned destination was also going to cost us $25 at Big Cabin OK. We went into the casino and registered. Ate lunch. The price was a little high but the meal was abundant and very tasty. Then we decided to play for a little while promising we would lose no more than what it would have cost us to stay in an average RV park. We played the penny slots. At least I did. Butch played the quarter machines for awhile but switched to the pennies. He won $40 and I won $4 and we were there for at least two hours. We left feeling we were big winners all around.
While we were eating lunch Butch asked what state we were in because Butch thought we had not crossed the stateline as yet on the interstate. He said the hotel was in Missouri, the RV park is in Kansas and the casino is in Oklahoma. Now how cool is that?!! So tonight we will be sleeping in Kansas.
When we leave we always have a plan but it is never set in cement.
We still plan to stay nearWhitesboro TX. But we might change our mind too. We'll see. The boys used to say,"We'll see means "No". But then as now that was not always the case.
