O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

Wednesday May 27th- Dalhart TX to Guymon OK, 72 miles

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.....well fortunately not too much today.  The ride today was easily the flattest terrain we have had on the tour.  And to boot the winds were modest and at worse a cross wind.  As such we made very good time, averaging in excess of 18 miles per hour.  After two really tough days this was most welcomed.

Not all that much to see along the way, mainly large sparse cattle ranches.  At the 50 mile mark we crossed into OK at a small town aptly named Texhoma.  Staying at another Best Western.  Chinese food tonight in Guymon.

The largest cowboy I have ever encountered, about 20 miles NE of Dalhart.  It appears the cowboy's private areas may have been shot off....well this is Texas after all.
