Oooooooklahoma

A road trip is always interesting even when there are no real 'sights' to see. Discovering a new area, getting a feel for it and seeing how it fits in the world can be pleasure enough. Travelling through Arkansas and then Oklahoma today has been one such. No stand outs; but a gentle day of rolling hills, small scale farming and covering the miles. I spoke to Henry this morning who commented that the only time you hear about Arkansas at home is when Bill Clinton is mentioned.

Times look a little tough in most of the areas that we went through today. There were lots of houses in a pitiful state with front yards like scrap heaps. We passed lots of taxidermists, pawn and gun shops.

In Oklahoma we went through many reservations - Kickapoo, Shawnee, Seminole and Pottawatomie, on our way up to our camp for the night just east of Oklahoma City.
