Sorry for getting behind.

So sorry for getting behind on this. I completely bypassed any info on Amarillo. Well, that is because i was there for 2 nights. Did not like that place. Did not feel welcomed. It was just a stop over place to get an oil change, tire rotation and  a complete check up for Clark(my truck). I also got my first injury of the trip. While in my campground, a truck drove by to fast and kicked up debris. Well, i got a big piece of dirty in my eye. Instead of rushing to flush it, i rubbed. Well, i have scratched the inside of my upper eye lid. LOL. So far, it has sucked. Burning and watery, hard to drive. Plus i wake up with my eye sealed shut. Today it feels much better so maybe the eye drops are working. Oh well,  One a good note, i had one of the best steaks ever at a place called The Big Texan. But it was marred by the worst service ever. Another customer at the bar had to ask the bartender if he planned on serving me tonight. The "bartender" looked right past me and said "who?".LOL, good times. Of course his tip was almost non existent and i spoke to a manger. Would go back for the steak, but sit at a table.

Oklahoma City

Well, I have been in Oklahoma City for the last two nights. This is an amazing city. Beautiful downtown area. Very active downtown.  Lots of arts and music was going on last night. I saw 3 weddings going on in the beautiful parks. I went to the Oklahoma City bombing memorial.  Wow, that really touched me.  Dont understand how someone could do this.

I could see myself living here. With one exception,  every gay man I met told me how unsafe the city is for the gays. That is sad. All of tge gay bars and restaurants were located on one street far from downtown.  They said it was that way to help keep an eye on each other.  But they still have muggings and bashings. The police don't help.

So this morning I am heading on a longer drive. Going to Amarillo Texas.  Being on the road is getting to me, so I am gonna start a more direct route and get this life started.

HUNKY'S cafe

So today I start my first full day in Dallas at Hunky's cafe. It is in the middle of Dallas's gayborhood.  Oak Lawn. I think. Gonna eat my chick sandwich then walk around to see where the happening night spots are for tonight.

Nice city so far. But damn the roads here in Texas have sucked so far. I know yesterday my truck and trailer hit a bump so big, we all were air born. Stressful. 

I am sooo grateful to be gone from that place. I was at Pleasant Valley RV park in Mt. Pleasant Texas. What a shit hole. No showers, toilets, WiFi, lighting, or any amenities. I had to make sure i used the facilities at the restaurant or gas station down the street. The grass has not been mowed in at least 6 months. They mow just 4 spots in case someone comes in. The place is run by a nice lady, but she does not clean the park. garbage everywhere. Parts of cars and rotted picnic table are everywhere. Her son, on his bike, had to show me my spot. He then had to show me my electric (which i share with the next spot cause that one is broken), as he opened the box, wasps came pouring out. So he and i had to remove the wasp nest. LOL The whole place is infested with grasshoppers, crickets and wasps. I didn't even bother to put out chairs or rugs, not even a picture. LOL

I turned in for the night with a very strong drink, animal crackers and a Laura Croft movie. 


Did i mention i was chased by a pitbull that belongs to one of the "residents"?

Leaving Arkansas

Stopped for some pancakes and eggs befor I leave Arkansas.  Staying in Mt. Pleasant, Texas tonight. Then off to Dallas tomorrow.  Maybe I will stay longer there.  Need to just decompress from all the driving. Go see a movie. Dance a little at a bar.

Hot Springs Arkansas

Getting a beer before I find a steak. Cute little town.

Arkansas

Well, made it to Hot Springs Arkansas today. Plan is to stay just one night, but if like tgen town, I will stay another. I have no place to be in a hurry.
