Drive to Clinton, OK, by way of Memphis and Shawnee Overnight: Super 8, Clinton, OK |
To my Dad, with love.
Passing by the Bass Pro Shops/Ducks Unlimited Pyramid in Memphis, and then heading into Arkansas.
Arkansas and Oklahoma are my two markers on a westbound drive: Arkansas means I've left home, and Oklahoma means I've left my region. By the time I hit Oklahoma I usually feel very far from home. (Which I think is also the name of a Spider-Man movie.)
Interesting pronunciation.
Yes, I guess it's "Speedway," though it's very hard to hear.
As alluded to earlier, getting so far away. (That's a good song by Staind.)
I've been to this Qdoba multiple times, I believe. At least twice, probably more.
Room 210. The front desk clerk claimed to remember me! Overall, a great room. I stayed in a nearby room in 2024.
Doing some exploring of the icemaker and outside.
