... going down the road. On Tuesday we took a ride on the scooter, stopped for lunch, and when we came out the scooter would not start. Now we have to get it fixed. Fortunately there was a surplus store next door for us to waste some time hoping the scooter would star if we waited, it didn't. Bill hitchhiked back to the Casino to get the truck, Bonnie waited with the scooter.

... in prayer as a symbol for their university. We are pretty sure these are the worlds largest praying hands. The things you see in Tulsa... We then headed onward through Oklahoma City to Norman, OK (short for Oklahoma). <br><br>Norman is the home of Oklahoma University and our venue for U2, it is also home of Thunderbird Lake State Park where we camped. This beautiful park has camping on top of a hill from which you can ...

This Memorial is a MUST see for every American. I don't believe any other National Monument is as touching as this one. Maybe it&#8217;s because it touched infants, toddlers, young and old who never had a chance to survive. <br><br>The Oklahoma City National Museum takes you on a chronological self-guided tour through the story of April 19, 1995 and the days, weeks, and years that followed the bombing of Oklahoma City ...

... you arrive before noon.<br>The highest the temp reached on the 120 mile trip was 49F. With the heated grips on and my winter gloves, I was fine in my lined jacket and regular shirt until the last twenty minutes. Then the thought of cranking up the heat in the motel room sustained me. There were no rain showers although the clouds were thicker, lower and darker over OKC. <br>The temp is higher now, they are expecting to reach 54F today. <br ...

... there. And the idiot truck driver behind me kept getting so close when we stopped that I thought he was going to hit me. But I didn&#8217;t let it scare me. I figured he was bored and wanted to see if he could get me to react. I wouldn&#8217;t give him the satisfaction. Once clear of the accident, I hit the gas and didn&#8217;t see him again.<br><br>I passed a couple of wind farms in New Mexico but ...

... br><br>After the museum we headed into Bricktown for lunch at a Mexican restaurant before going to the Crystal Bridge which is a tropical rainforest in an unusual looking building. There were all sorts of tropical trees and some unusual little lizards which were very difficult to spot. After a wander through the gardens outside we went back to Bricktown for a trip on the canal that was built in 1999. The canal runs in between some old warehouses ...

... him every chance I got. We have been continually blessed with good weather. A few sprinkles but no rain, just lots of wind. Left Joplin a little late, wound through Kansas with lots of pix, finally hitting the super-slab in Oklahoma well after noon. Stopped at H-D in OK City to warm up and collect dealer dots, then decided to hunker down for the night. See you tomorrow!

American airlines never fails to TRY and screw up a well planned trip! After getting up at 5:00am to get our 8:10am flight our trip was "cancelled"! Only Judy received a cancellation call. How on earth are you suppose to know your flight is cancelled if you are not one of the "lucky" passengers to be called. Then to add insult to injury we were the unfortunate callers to get the person who does not want to "help"! He thought that we should ...
