Oklahoma

 

I came out of the New Mexico into the panhandle of Oklahoma,  missing Texas by a couple of hundred yards.  The snowfall was starting to pick up.        OK_line.jpg (37618 bytes)

It was Saturday afternoon, the day before Easter.  Not a sign of a repair shop anywhere in sight.  

By the time I got to Guymon, the snow had ended,  and I stopped for lunch and a fresh tank of gas.  The new gas cured the engine.  I guess they had put hot sauce in the fill-up I got in Taos.  I stayed Saturday night in Woodard.  On Easter Sunday I stopped off in Anadarko to SEE INDIAN CITY!! then on to Norman to stay with Bob and Claudia..  On Monday, Bob drove me down to see Geronimo's grave  near Lawton.  Tuesday I headed east.
