Gas Prices and a lesson learned

Last night, we stopped in Amarillo, TX. Actually on the outskirts of the city. We hate rush hour traffic so this is perfect for when we leave. Our travel day was nondescript. Boring driving along hwy I-40. We stopped and had lunch at a rest area but other than that it was just long, long stretchs of road and land and bushes. The gas prices haven't been as bad as we thought they would be. When we left CA we were paying $2.83 per gallon and yesterday we put gas in at $2.51. In Amarillo, we noticed gas prices were $2.49 per gallon. At the RV park we learned a very valuable lesson. When I closed the door to the RV it wouldn't lock but I was sure it was closed and sat down in the seat to follow the guide to our RV parking spot. As he was guiding us into the space he began waving his arms and telling us to stop. We were driving into the sun and couldn't really see to much. Suddenly we saw this streak of white heading for a tree. The door had swung open and Oliver spotted it and out he went. Luckily, he headed for the tree to pee. I went out and retrieved him and we parked. Now, Skip is fixing the door. The thing is that I'm always the one nagging him about making sure it is locked before we drive. Like I said, Lesson Learned! As I promised here is a picture of Oliver in his new coat. Today we are heading to Arkansas to the Crater Diamond State Park.
