I stayed in Elk City, OK last night but rode 40 to Weatherton for breakfast. Very good and very reasonable.
It seems all of the towns are from the early 1900’s
Now that’s a selection. Can you guess the one I chose? :)
This is out of order, but is what I woke up to on Thurs. morning!
Old town McAlester, OK. Remember when they used to broadcast with 500,000 watts from the tallest building in town and your bed springs would talk to you.
Falfa, OK. the town just before this one was named Al.
More of what I woke up to on 9-11
It was pretty warm riding today because the humidity was really up there.
Angie’s Cousin Rodney. Inside joke
Beginning of the Talimena Drive.
This one warned of steep grades, the next one of a lot of curves.
So for the next 53 miles there are 23 vista stops. I stopped at every one of them but only took pictures at a few of them. I only plan to comment on a couple of the many pictures.
They only mow the sides of the road in the fall just before the trees change color. This is so the wild flowers can mature and reseed themselves.
I love it when the trees form a canopy over the road
I made it here!
If Patience was with me we would have had to ride this.
It didn’t look great on the outside, but I was very comfortable here. Especially when I woke up to the constant rumble of thunder.
Good meal at the evening buffet. I’m gaining at the rate of 1.5 pounds per day.
