Tulsa, Oklahoma: Slowly Headed To The East Coast

We are now in Tulsa, Oklahoma visiting our son Christopher and his new bride Rachael. This is the first time we've seen them since the wedding in late July and we are having a great time.

As you may remember, we spent a few days in Albuquerque, New Mexico before heading east on US 40. We left Albuquerque, travelling east and then stopped for one night in Amarillo, Texas.

Albuquerque was great and we will definitely go back. We explored several museums and a portion of the Torquoise Road however there is a lot more to see in New Mexico. We need to get to Santa Fe, Taos, and Roswell at a minimum. Santa Fe and Taos have some of the best scenery available in the west along with lots of Pueblo's and art galleries.

I would like to follow the torquoise Road out to Madrid, the small town highlighted in the film "Wild Hogs".

And Roswell is famous as the home of Area 51, believed by some to be the site of an alien spaceship crash back in the 50's.

Oh, and there is Los Alamos, where the atomic bomb was developed in great secrecy during WW II.

They (they being Texans) say that everything is bigger in Texas. Just outside of Abilene, Texas there is a field of the large windmills. These windmills, which are massive devices for generating electricity, are becoming increasingly popular throughout windy areas of the US.

Well, we drove for over 5 minutes alongside this massive Texas windmill farm. Mile after mile of windmills. The largest windmill farm we've seen to date. And of course it was extremely breezy with lots of wind gusts. This always makes driving the RV interesting, to say the least. You have to really focus to keep the RV in the appropriate lane, especially when an 18 wheeler passes you or you pass them. Fun!

Today we attended church with Christopher and Rachael before watching the Redskins Vs Dallas football game. Rachael had rented the large screen TV room at their apartment complex to celebrate Christopher's birthday. We had a great time despite the Skin's losing to Dallas. Oh well.
We'll be here in Tulsa until Wednesday when we'll once again point the RV towards the east coast. We should get to Maryland on Saturday/Sunday. Just in time to get everything ready for a Thanksgiving Feast with many of our relatives.

See Ya!
