Hi All,
We arrived in Oklahoma City about 4 today after a relatively easy drive from Amirillo. The driving was all on Interstate 40 and not much in the way of hills or curves and in fact, not much of anything. Tomorrow we will do some exploring here in Oklahoma City and plan to visit Stockyard City, the world's largest stocker/feeder livestock market Besides the livestock there are all sorts of shops to provide products for the "real" cowboy. There is also a restaurant there that as been in operation for 80 years called the Cattleman's. It open at 6AM!
At a quick glance it appears there is a lot to explore in Oklahoma City. Where to next?? I am not sure other than it will be in a continued easterly direction.
Below are a few pictures from our drive today. Not thqt they show you much, but that is the point of why we haven't been taking many pictures or attaching them to the blog. I expect we should get some good pictures tomorrow.
This is a rig that came in to our campsite in Albuquerque. It is a HUGE 5th wheel with a 4 door cab custom tractor on th front with a big fancy 3 wheel motorcycle stored just behind the cab. All custom painted so that cab and trailer matched.
As I said, not much to look at, long straight and flat

double ditto
This shows how desperate we were for pictures. On several billboards prior to getting to this spot, this cross was billed a the largest one in the western hemisphere. I have no idea what the reason for it being there is. This does bring up a point though about billboards. They are everywhere and lots of them. We have noticed this in several states. It really makes us appreciate Vermont's no billboard laws!
A good place for a wind turbine farm as the wind really blows across these flatlands. It pushes the RV around pretty good.
Well that is all for now Most likely a new update tomorrow night.
Tom
