Rainy day in Tulsa
We drove through the miles of grassy High Plains from Amarillo through Oklahoma City to Tulsa, OK. We were imagining the buffalo roaming. I-77 turns out to be the only interstate toll road in the US. The toll taker said that 40% of the drivers on I-77 are from out of state and that it was better that they paid for the road than the locals.

Pre-trip packing and thoughts

Until then, it's time to wind down and sleep before we hit the road tomorrow.
Pictures to come with faster internet!
