TENTATIVE TRAVEL ROUTE

I had a long talk with Google Maps last night and we figured out a tentative travel plan.  The actual departure date is still iffy but any time between 5/17 and 5/24.  Since we're pulling two trailers we have to take into consideration cost of two campsites as opposed to the cost of 1 room.  Motel 6's ususally allow dogs and don't charge an extra fee or ask too many questions we'll stick to them.

Day 1:  Riverside, CA to Bellemont, AZ -- 422 miles = approx. 7 hours.  The Motel 6 has truck parking and allows dogs, so I pick staying in a room.

Day 2:  Bellemont, AZ to Santa Rosa, NM -- 450 miles = approx 7.5 hours.  The Motel 6 has truck parking and allows dogs, so I pick staying in a room.

Day 3:  Santa Rosa, NM to Okemah, OK -- 504 miles = approx 8.5 hours.  Okemah Lake seems nice and camping rates seem reasonable.  Okemah, OK - Woody Guthrie's Home Town.

Day 4:  Okekmah, OK to Millington, TN -- 418 miles = approx 7 hours.  There's the Meeman-Shelby State Park that also looks nice and reasonably priced.  Meeman-Shelby State Park.

Day 5:  Millington, TN to Crossville, TN -- 336 miles = approx 6.5 to 7 hours to "home".
