OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

We are staying at Tinker AFB in OK City. Our site is across the street from this stocked pond. The sunsets are great. We have been in the record breaking weather for 4 days. 105, 108 then yesterday was 110 degrees with winds blowing 20 to 30 miles per hour. Hard to sit outside.

We visited the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. It was air conditioned and had many statues with some of the old Western actors. You may even see a criminal in jail.

They had a American Native Gallery, American Rodeo Gallery, Firearms Gallery, and a Art of the West Gallery.


OK City tried to copy our River Walk. I said they tried. It is only 1 mile long and only 3 restaurants on the River. They have many cast iron statues and paintings and even a Mosaic in Bricktown downtown of OKC. The driver on our water taxi had been in San Antonio for three years.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial. Dedicated to the victims of the Murray Federal Building bombing. The chairs are symbolic of those who died in the bombing.

The one thing we have not done on any of our trips was take in a ball game. This is a AAA Farm Team for the Houston Astro's. The Oklahoma City RedHawks Vs. the Iowa Cubs. What a great game. RedHawks won 2-1. A full day of site seeing.



We leave tomorrow and do a one night say in Burleson,TX,then on to Belton Lake to camp with my daughter Chrissy and family for 4 nights then to San Antonio on the 6Th.

JOPLIN, MISSOURI

We stopped in Joplin overnight on our way to Oklahoma City. We went to the postoffice and saw the results from the tornado 5 to 6 months ago. There is no words for the pictures below, except each piece of wood on the curb belonged to a family at some time and nothing is left of the past except trash. We only drove 3 blocks to get these pictures. It was so depressing and heartbreaking.
