Day 3

Day 3:  Pretty much just a driving day. We drove 645.9 miles.  The hero of the day is the CRV.  It took a literal pounding.  RT40's speed limit is 70mph and has a very rough driving surface.  Between the pot holes, cracks, and uneven pavement I felt bad for the car. Luckily nothing  broke severely (knock on wood), though it did get a few battle wounds. The tabs that hold the heat shield on the exhaust broke so it's rattling and a truck kicked up a rock and put another crack in the windshield.  Other than that, we stopped at a Arkansas rest stop to have sandwiches for lunch.  Before we left Arkansas we pulled off to find a Geocache so we can add that state to our list.  We also stopped at the Oklahoma Welcome center to find a Geocache so we can also add that to our list of states cached.  When we got to Oklahoma City we stopped at a Steak and Shake for dinner. We have never been to a Steak and Shake before...it was pretty tasty.  We ended our days journey in Clinton, Oklahoma where we will call the Econo Lodge home for the night.
