The Baseball Trip 2021

Day 14   Monday, July 5

Today is a travel day as we head east and north to Marion, Illinois. There is not much to report on, as the scenery is kind of blah. On the other hand, there is a casino in Tulsa (actually many) that we hit and spent a couple of hours wasting time and money. I also have some pictures that have not been published, some odds and ends to fill the page.

Spirit River Casino is owned and operated by the Muskogee (Creek) Nation. It also has a partner with Jimmy Buffet and the Margaritaville enterprise.

Random Observation from Randy: If we're going to go to a casino, let's do it early before our brains turn to cotton after all that driving.

Here's something: I forgot to include: a picture of Hornsby, the Tulsa Drillers mascot on the first visit to Tulsa on our way west.

My close personal friend, Hornsby the Bull.

Fireworks night in Oklahoma City:

Route 152 drops you right in front of the Beckham County Courthouse in Cordell, Oklahoma:

If you look very cloely, to the left of the bottom of the courthouse, you can see a tiny blue rectangle. That is actually a statue of a bison wearing a blue Oklahoma State Trooper uniform.

Favorite town name: Slick, OK

Favorite signs: Two Baby Creek

                          Guns, Grills & Safes!

Events we cannot hang around for:  Three Dog Night at River Spirit Casino, Tulsa, OK

Random Observation from Randy: If I owned a cemetary, I'd have a sign that says "Plots Available FOR YOU!"
