Well, you Easterners probably didn’t know that Oklahoma had such beautiful countryside. I was on the phone with Roy yesterday (my brother) and told him that we were traveling through southwestern Missouri and Oklahoma yesterday. He said, sarcastically, “Mmm, beautiful part of the country”. Well, look at Sylvan at the picnic table, under the trees, overlooking Lake of the Cherokees. Now this campground did have a few flaws. Most of the tenting sites were on a hill. We managed to find a flat space, but it was directly under a 500,000 watt street light. Nevertheless, we slept as well as if we’d been in a hotel. We are heading west today looking for some long horn steers. If we don’t find some west of Tulsa, we are going all the way to Amarillo.
Oh, by the way, for two days in a row I have enjoyed a great southern delicacy for breakfast. At “Mom’s Kountry Kitchen” this morning in Jay, OK at 6:45 am we enjoyed biscuits and gravy. Yumm!

What's wrong with an inclined campsite? We paid $150 for our inversion table and you could have moved all that blood and all those organs around for the price of a camp site. For Texas, read Elmer Kelton's The Time It Never Rained. It's a fine book by a man who should be as well appreciated for making the local into the universal as Faulkner. Also his "The Good Old Boys". He's also a good window for the environmentalist who wants to see the real complexity of the interface between the resource user and the natural resource. (Something most environmentalists would rather imagine.)
