Suyen wanted to get family pictures at the rainbow bridge.  So we backtracked to there.  Little did we know that someone we wanted to meet would show up just by happenstance....

I knew Eric Jacobs, AKA Nomadic Fanatic was taking route 66 from west to east.  I was hoping to meet him on the road, and was going to make contact with him.  I thought he was farther west than he was.  Suyen told me she wanted to go back to the Marsh Arch Bridge to take some pictures.  So we had just made it out there and I looked up to see a familiar class C RV pull up.  It was Eric....

We got some doggie poses at the Rainbow bridge...


A 'biker gang' from Norway was taking a photo op....

Then it's Eric's turn....



Talking shop with Eric....
Class C parking lot....
Photo with Eric...

Stella and the bridge...

Jimmy and the bridge...
It was a short visit, but Eric is heading north to Kansas City, and we are heading west....
One less pass by for the cameras...








Navion and the bridge.... it was actually about 3 passes, the last one to grab our camera....

Dog is my co-pilot....

We were thinking of boon docking at Wal Mart west of Catoosa.  We found an RV park, which is actually a storage facility...
This is all Jimmy and Stella do on the road...


Our view of the sunset.  We wish we had gotten farther in Oklahoma, but there is so much to see and so much we haven't seen...
