We drove down a little section of Route 66 to the center of the "town". One intersection, basically. But, it was the intersection of Roger Miller Avenue and Sheb Wooley street. They are both for this little rural area - if you're old enough to know those names.
We left pretty early this morning from Texola. It was amazing how late the sun came up after travelling east and going through the time change to Central Time. It stayed dark this morning a good hour longer than yesterday morning.
They on the way here to Sallisaw OK, we went past Yukon OK, birthplace and home of Garth Brooks. And, at a little town just off the I-40, we passed the home of Troy Aikman. Lotta famous Okies out there.
We had been seeing the news of all the rain in Texas and this area, and it sure shows in the incredibly green countryside. And, the lakes and rivers are muddy brown and right to the tops of the banks.
Everything was green as far as you could see for 300 miles across the state.
And these people in Oklahoma take their crosses seriously. Look at the size of this one!
When we got to our turnoff to the RV park down by the Lake, we decided we deserved some Pizza, and what do ya know? A Pizza joint right there. So parked and let them cook us a pizza to take with us for dinner. Found a great parking spot and walked Jill while Yvonne ordered the pizza.
Another nice, shaded park, which is important at 97 degrees with 50 percent humidity.
We went down to the lake to check it out. Very pretty. And this Heron was about 5 feet tall.
Mommy and the dog.
These two pictures are about the same but the lower has more beautiful subject matter added.
