Okie's NW Corner

Good Morning from NW Oklahoma! Brrrrr... but it was downright chilly the first part of the week when we got dugout of the mountains and headed east towards Oklahoma.

I guess while we were enjoying the snow in the mountains, some of you back in Oklahoma were experiencing Fall-like temperatures in the 60's and 70's. The cold front that followed us home dropped the temperatures into the 20's the first part of the week. We hope you all did not mind, BUT... we had to bring this cold weather back with us from the Rockies to keep the snow in the back of the pickup frozen. You see... the snow was a christmas present for my friends in NW Oklahoma. Towards the latter half of the week the temperatures did rise a bit into the 40's and 50's. Duchess told me she missed prancing around in the powdery snow in the mountains, though.

On our travels along I40 (following Old Route 66) these are just some of the towns that hug the Old Route 66. Some of those turnouts were Moriarty, Clines Corners, Santa Rosa, Tucumcari (New Mexico), Shamrock (Texas) and while driving in Oklahoma we took the Old Route 66 exit that led us to Fort Reno (west edge of El Reno). We arrived at Fort Reno with about 45 minutes before closing of the gates, so we did not take the tour, but mainly picked up some history and information. We will be back to Fort Reno Visitor Center, though.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
