Heading to Hinton, OK





I am in Erick, OK this morning, Friday, 22 Sep (13 more days until arriving at Tybee Island, GA). Erick is the home of Roger Miller (his song "King of the Road" was famous). It's also the home of Harlee and Anabelle who entertained us last night at their Route 66 nostalgia museum. I was able to join in with my harmonica. One of the highlights of the trip was meeting these two people that brought such joy to the bikers on the tour.

Also want everyone to know how beautiful the trip was yesterday riding from Amarillo, TX to Erick, OK. The wind was blowing around 50 mph and even the tall weeds along the roadway were just bending and moving in such beauty. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful country to live in and experience.

I also got the chance to call into the elementary school back in Millard, NE and the Principal put me on the intercom so all the students could hear me. I talked about my trip, and reminded them about staying in physical shape, where I was heading next, and before they all departed school for the day they were to put some hugs on their teachers and thank them for being teachers.

Also added some additional pictures above from the last few days (picture of hotel we stayed at called the Big Texan in Amarillo, TX, photo of Anabelle and Harley in Erik, OK, elevation map of our ride from Clovis, NM to Amarillo, TX, and the state sign entering Texas with our Presidents name on the bottom), also my brother David met me for dinner last night (drove all the way from Tulsa, OK to see me, what a great brother), and my friends Charlie and Denise are meeting me tonight and will be riding with me from Hinton, OK to Paul's Valley, OK.


Love,

Donna/Mom
