Well, we didn't make it into Texas yet; instead we chose to spend a couple of nights in Thackerville, Oklahoma, just about 75 miles north of Dallas on I-35. The Chickasaw Nation runs the WinStar World Casino there. It is touted as the third largest casino in the world and there's no denying their claim--the place is HUGE! It attracts players from Oklahoma City, Dallas/Ft.Worth and local area. The massive facility is segmented by "countries" where players can stroll through the areas and play on themed machines. Surprisingly, the lion's share of one-armed bandits are penny and nickle slots.

The associated RV park is nicely designed and offers all the necessary amenities--long, pull-through concrete driveways so you don't have to unhook your tow vehicle, electricity and water, sewer, picnic table, charcoal grill, clean showers, ice, pet walk for the VERY reasonable fee of $20/night! And, as an incentive for you to spend a few bucks at the casino, they offer $10 free play with $10 cash play AND one night at the RV park for free. We took advantage of the deal and yes, with the dollars we left at the casino, we got nothing free! Oh well, fun time.
The weather has been wonderful; today reached almost 70. No jackets needed.
While walking the pups in the RV park, I happened upon this festive RV reminicent of Chevy Chase's "Christmas Vacation" film. I just had to share:
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Tomorrow we head into Texas. Later.
