Driving across Oklahoma

This was an interesting trip.  All across the state were signs every so often about leaving one Indian tribe nation and entering another Indian tribe nation.  Most of the city and town names sounded like Indian names.  There are about 39 different Indian tribes in Oklahoma today. 

This is Skydance Bridge which we drove under in Oklahoma City.  Oklahoma City is beautiful.  The interstate system is even beautiful.  Mike and I may have to return here sometime and explore a little more.  Today, we just drove through. 

 

Tonight we are in Texola, Oklahoma--one mile from the Texas border.  We literally are out in the middle of nowhere.  This is a small RV park called Double D RV Park.  It's small but nice.  There are only around 20 sites.  The people who own the place were gone but there was a sign at our site with our name on it and we just put our money in an envelop and put it in a slot.  Kind of an honor system here.  The site is a pull-through and plenty of room. 

 

There was a lot of wind today driving here.  Once we got here and were setting up, I noticed that there were no bugs flitting around.  Maybe because of the wind?  I don't know. 

These wind turbines were everywhere you looked along I-40.  I was reading about them and it said one Turbine produced about 1.5 megawatt of electricity.  This was enough to provide electricity for 330 houses for a year.  However, they're only as good as the wind is blowing.  No wind, no electricity.  Today was very windy.  The motorhome felt like it was going to lift off the ground. Mike did a great job of keeping it between the lines.  He's a great driver.

That's all for tonight, so . . .
