Oklahoma City

We drove most of the day yesterday - north out of hot Texas - NOT!  Drove into even hotter Oklahoma - 109 as we drove into the campground - no boondocking in this kind of weather - where's the plug?!

We drove into the city to see the memorial at the Murrah Federal Building. Such a senseless tragedy(1995)  - all because of one crazy man! It is a beautiful park like setting with a large reflection pool - the water is only about an inch deep - and chairs on the hillside for each of the victims. The chairs are arranged by the floor that the person worked on with the children's chairs near their parents. It was especially poignant to see all the little chairs in remembrance of the children at the day care center that were killed - especially since we just kissed our granddaughters good-bye.

We are heading north again today - hope to make it to Nebraska City. We may hit some rain on the way - wonder if we'll recognize it?! As we gaze out the window there are plains as far as we can see - trying to imagine them covered with buffalo!
