East to West, Oklahoma Is Miles 465 Miles Long....

Eric and I are driving 200 - 240 miles a day on our long, leisurely drive back to Upstate New York.  We have one more overnight stop to make before waving goodbye to Oklahoma.

Returning to Interstate 40 East.

Garth Brooks & the

Yukon Millers are

honored on the 

Yukon Water Tower.

Hauling a very long metal beam

westward.

The Oklahoma City
skyline

We turn north onto

  Interstate 35 North.

Another large road
construction project

Eric & I continue today's

 drive on US Route 60.

A Refinery

In this state, it's a safe
guess that processes oil.

My childhood comes to life

before my eyes when I see a

Sinclair Gas Station with its

mascot, Dino the Dinosaur.

US 60 follows the Osage
National Heritage Trail.

Was the fire started purposefully

or the result of an engine fire,

a lit cigarette tossed out of a

car window?

The Cattle are social
distancing.

Burning is allowed in this

region of Oklahoma.

Honoring Osage history &
culture in Pawhuska.

Nest stop... Bartlesville

Our first sighting of the
Price Tower in downtown
Bartlesville.

 Why leave the Interstate to see a skyscraper?  It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  Built in 1955 this unique tower opened to the public in February 1956.

Back on US Route 60...

We pass an Airport.

Route 60 is very quiet

this afternoon.

Cattle roam within sight

of an Oil Derrick.

Eric & I are spending the

night at Walmart in Vinita.

We like to park near a grassy edge, when possible.  Open land is a buffer between businesses and helps creates a quiet area in parking lots.
