Going with the flow

Today was one of those days.  First, we needed gas in the RV.  John tries to find gas stations with good prices, but also the space so we can get the RV and car in and out OK.  We stopped at a station that looked good, but had steel barriers that reduced the turning radius.  We ended up having to separate the car to make the turn.  In the process there were a lot of frustrated feelings plus a small scrape on the car.

Next, I found online a Route 66 museum that was well rated.  We had to do some maneuvering, but got to the museum, parked, got out cameras, and went in.  Then we found out the museum was closed for renovations but we could buy stuff in their gift shop.  Really?!

We got to our RV stop at a reasonable time to find out there were no spaces available.  I couldn’t find any alternates in town, so we ended up driving another 2 hours to our next stop.
 
On the way were several stops I was hoping to visit.  All very kitschy, but fun.  Given the frustrations of the day, we skipped the barbed wire museum.  The next ones we just drove past.  So, what you see are pictures taken through the RV window with bird poop on the window and with a bumpy ride.  The picture above is a leaning water tower.  The one below is a 190 foot cross.
