There is not much to look at on the road through OK and TX. We stopped at several rest stops that had geocaches and logged them and quickly hit the road again. Later on down the road we stopped to get gas and me saw a man carry his dog across the parking lot to go do his business. Then he picked the cattle dog back up and returned him to the truck. I said "The dog has you trained!" He responded that the dog makes him $150,000 a year and does tricks, rides horses, and other tricks at rodeos. He gave me a coloring book of the dog and horse, so I will have to check it out when I get home. He said he was much better than Skid Boot and I had told him I had seen Skid Boot in action several years ago. We wished each other luck and a safe trip and we were on our way.
Down the road in Texas we stopped at a leaning water tower that is along the famous old route 66. The tower was made to lean in hopes it would bring some tourist dollars to the town. We stopped for a photo opp with James the travel gnome as well as a kidnapped orange cup of a friend. We are having fun! Later we stop by one of the largest crosses I have ever seen. The large metal cross has lots of statues below it and it is a real nice area to stop and reflect.
I'll post some more later.
