Day 1- Kingman, AZ

Rt 66 & Deer Farm

We stayed at HipCamp SW Eden Ranch which is hosted by Dominic. His property is vast, with amazing views of the mountains and unique rock formations in Kingman Arizona. Property was quiet and safe. Found this camp site though HipCamp. Would stay there again. It is boondocking, but practically free to stay.

Always a historic vibe when on the 66. Seligman was the perfect Route 66 stop on the way out of Kingman.

Soooo, you can just walk into a pasture and feed the deer?? Yep, and we loved it. Location is called Deer Farm and is located in Williams, Arizona.

Day 2- Albuquerque, NM

Isotopes Game & RT 66 Casino RV Park

We stayed at a very nice campground with all the hook-ups. $60 and had an awesome, pool, dog park, and putting green. No shade or greenery. Total desert landscape.

Had a chance to see West Ranch Baseball Alum Jake Bird at the Colorado Rockies AAA team called the Albuquerque Isotopes. He did not pitch, but a few days later was called up to the major leagues and is pitching very well against the big boys. Just wow!

Kris and I have been watching Breaking Bad. We visited a couple filming sites. Acting like tourists!

Day 3- Oklahoma City, OK

Rt 66 & College Softball World Series

$45 for a campsite on Route 66 named Territory Route 66 RV Park. Very nice location with very friendly people. Full hook-ups and a nice little storm shelter underground in case a tornado were to visit!

Holy cow, we went to the Women's College Softball World Series. 14k+ in attendance and an electric atmosphere. Hometown Oklahoma put a beat down on Texas that night. But the experience was priceless.

Day 4- Little Rock, AK

HipCamp Titan Ranch Missile Silo & Thunderstorms

Long drive to Little Rock, Arkansas from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Parked our rig on an old Titan II Missile Launch site. Name of the place was Titan Ranch, and we found it for $20 on HipCamp. Talked for a long time with GT and his wife, who have their house on the missile base. They have completely renovated the living quarters underground and now allow people to stay in the silo via Airbnb. Maybe we will do the below ground thing next time. We dry camped, and a thunderstorm rolled in, making for an awesome environment. Cows and beautiful farms as far as your eyes could see.

Day 5- Nashville, TN

Graceland & Elm Hill RV Resort on the J Percy Priest Lake

Followed a thunderstorm across Arkansas in the morning and arrived in Memphis to visit Graceland. A bucket list stop for sure. Everyone needs to make a trip to Graceland.

Elm Hill RV resort broke the budget at $140 for the night. But as usual, you get what you pay for. They had all the fun things to do, and it was a spotless park. The main draw was that we parked on a huge lake in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. If you can afford it, this is the park to stay at! Need to reserve way in advance to have a chance of getting a spot.
