Road Trip Day 6 - Oklahoma

Today we left Graceland and our awesome guitar shaped hotel swimming pool.  The hotel we stayed at took its dedication to all things Elvis very seriously...in our room there were pictures of Elvis hanging on every wall and 3 TV channels dedicated to playing Elvis movies 24/7.  One night in Graceland was enough for us though, so we took our Elvis and hit the road early this morning. 

We spent the entire day driving across Arkansas and into Oklahoma so I don't have anything that exciting to report.  It was a lot of flat farm land with not much to see besides rest stops.   We stopped to get lunch somewhere just outside Little Rock, Arkansas at this placed called Mean Pig BBQ (another Man vs. Food recommendation for its fiery BBQ sauce challenge).  We didn't try the spicy sauce but Elvis got a good long break from the car and made friends with the pig statute outside. 

At another rest stop a few hours later Elvis also made some new friends with the horses grazing in the fields next to the gas station...yeah it's definitely the middle of nowhere when there are horses at the rest stops.  I wonder what they thought of each other...

 

We made it to our stop for the night in Oklahoma City late tonight and after all that farm land it feels like we are finally back to civilization!  Tomorrow we are going to drive some of the famous Route 66 on our way to Amarillo, TX so I hope to have more to share tomorrow night.
