Yea!! back on line!

you know you're travelling old school when the wireless is out in the entire community. That's what happened in santa Rosa, NM yesterday. Here's how we got there: Day 3 We started the morning with a great breakfast at the Pankake Hut in Clinton, MO. On the drive into Kansas we came upon a narrow bridge under a canopy of trees. Sitting on the rail was a huge golden eagle. He took flight just a few feet in front of us, circled and landed back on his perch once we crossed the bridge. It was amazing. Stopped at an old gas station turned museum in Afton, OK. Had a nice visit with Laurel & Ron about the history of the area and some must sees to come. Stopped at the birthplace of Mickey Mantle in Commerce, OK and checked out the shed with dented steel walls from all of the practice pitches. We had to check out Totem Pole Park outside of Foyil. Well worth the side trip. Tried to imagine the Blue Whale amusement park (Catoosa) in its glory. It looks like a perfect location for a Pee Wee Herman movie. Will Rogers presence is everywhere in these parts. His museum rivals those of many Presidents'. We skirted Tulsa and Oklahoma City and spent more time in the smaller communities that have been largely forgotten by time. Many skektons in these parts leave much to the imagination. Miles of well maintained original road in this state. Great people, too! Stopped for the night at a KOA on Clinton Lake in OK. We rented a Kamping Kabin for a new experience. It certainly was cozy!!!
