Left around 11:30 and drove highways to Tulsa, then headed north and ate a late lunch at Montana Mike’s. We had been thinking of all the country musicians from Oklahoma and looking up hometowns to see if we were near any. Headed to the State Park we were camping at, near Bartlesville, I wondered where the Pioneer Woman lived – looked it up and she lives in Pawhuska – it was only about 15 miles from where we were. And it’s about 15 miles from the campground, so in the morning, guess where we are headed? To explore Pawhuska. We may never get to Montana. Plans are to make it into Kansas (we are only about 7 miles from the state line) and then head west, maybe northwest. But all the roads run pretty much north, south, east, or west. Hard to cross country in a straight line. Maybe we’ll make it to Colorado, but we probably won’t leave until check out time at 2:00 and we won’t have much driving time. The land around here is beginning to look “western” “cowboyish” – hills, rocks, ravines – lot’s of horses and cows. Really pretty. Forgot to tell you about the catastrophe yesterday – when we arrived and I was so tired, the refrigerator had tipped over, one of the straps to keep it closed was broken, and food was scattered all over the floor and onto the carpet area. Nothing liquid spilled, but the only thing that came open was the almost full container of feta cheese. It was quite an aroma. Really bad. Tony cleaned it all up and has devised an extra strap to make sure the refrigerator doesn’t tip forward again. We will be visiting a KZ dealer when we get to Big Fork – there is one in Kalispell. They actually replaced our awning when we were there last time. I don’t know if I can ever eat feta again.
