Left Jefferson

 We left town about 8:30 AM with our destination being the Downstream Casino in Qua Paw OK. It is actually Exit 1 in Missouri. The Casino, Hotel, and RV Park are in 3 different states. We have stayed there many times and if you have a player's card you can stay one night free. So we try to do the usual routine which is to go into the gift shop and tell them how long you plan to stay, and they will inform security. Done deal. But then Covid-19 happened and we go in but the gift shop is closed so we asked one of the people posted at the door to take temperatures and check that you have a mask on, what we should do and she said to come back in the morning at 9:00 and we said but we will be gone by nine. She shrugged and said that is all I can tell you. So we decided we would just shrug and go about our business. I walked back to RV parking and Butch stayed in the casino. Masks and distancing were closely monitored. We were impressed that they were making a concerted effort to abide by the suggested rules of safety.

We were tired from the long day and went to bed early. There were buffalo near RV parking and Butch said I should get a picture but I was too tired. He told me they would not be there in the morning and he was right. There were just a few and I did get a few shots but they were at a distance. We rested well.
