We resumed our trip with a full tank of gas and fortified with sugar and caffeine. I was hoping for two hours worth of travel time before our next stop. We made about an hour 45 minutes before we stopped in Boise City, OK.   En route we had passed through Springfield, CO. I had been curious…

  Oklahoma City - Goat Ropers Need Love, Too   There are hundreds of songs written about Oklahoma. However, HANDS DOWN, my all-time favorite tune is Jerry Jeff Walker’s version of Ray Wylie Hubbard’s classic, “Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother.”   Up Against The…

Oklahoma is more than cowboys, native americans, covered wagons, football, and oil.  We have fast paced weather.  Everyone thinks of tornados.  But what people don't know is that Oklahoma has 2 seasons:  Wick Hot (the summer) and this other thing that is ever changing (the rest …

Our second stop for the day today was the Cherokee National Museum in Park Hill, Oklahoma. Both my wife and I have some Indian ancestry, so we are both interested in seeing and learning about what we can. We spent quite a while taking the tour, checking out the Trail of Tears Art Sale that was goin…

  Okemah is a quiet town of about 3,000 just off Interstate 40 in eastern Oklahoma. Its main street is rather quiet for most of the year but each July thousands of musicians and partiers gather here for an annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival. Besides being the hometown of the legendary folk si…

Maybe it's against the point of this site to blog about your hometown, but I don't care...So, I've lived in Oklahoma City since 1995. Coming here from Los Angeles was a big adjustment. I lost all my California friends in that move (which was pre-internet-becoming-mainstream) and had to start all ov…

Here are a few other pics from my evening adventures to Oklahoma City, OK.  I thought it best not to put them with the memorial, so here they are in all their randomness.  

I've always thought cameras on cell phones were a good idea.  I can't tell you how many times I've been in a situation where I thought, "if I only had a camera."  People always have phones on them, so it goes hand in hand.  Sure, the quality isn't the best, but it's better than nothi…

     While sifting through boxes of knick knacks I'd been hauling back and forth across the country for the past three decades, I ran across a diary I had written during my first trip to Europe in 1973.       I had just graduated from East Central High …

We are on vacations but need to keep working with our brains, that means, get fun, know about the culture and history too. We went to the museum of natural history. It has improved a lot, I found this time more funny like the last time. The dinosaurs, how they explain about the pangea history. the…

My sister, Shari's birthday is June 22nd, so we took our families to the OKC Zoo on the 21st. It was a gorgeous morning, but let me tell you... the first day of summer is a ridiculous day to go to the zoo. It was so flaming hot that I threatened to go home. A lot. The OKC Zoo may be missing a …

These are all fireworks that my friends and I shot off in the country side area of Edmond, Oklahoma.  We do this every year, and this year I took pictures with my digital camera on the Fireworks setting.  I was a little hard to time the pictures out at first, but I eventually got the hang…

Going down to OKC!!!!
