Oklahoma here we are!!

Hey all - well we are now in Tulsa Oklahoma - wow is this the wildest trip across America ever!!! We are seeing some of the "bones" of the "Mother Road along the way and it is so very cool. It kind of reminds us of our youth - a B&W photo with very old cars in it!!!! Rt 66 is a rolling road with unbelievable vistas of farms, and wide open spaces. As we travel through we so often see some, probably old hippie, sitting on his porch waving to us.....it always makes us smile. Tulsa is quite a big city, if it weren't for Ike we probably would stay here for a day or so. I think the wiser thing would be to keep going west so we will not be in its path as it hits the US. We logged on another 260 miles and are now officially more than HALF WAY THERE or, as Bryan told us, we have done a quarter of the trip. Either way it has been so GREAT!!!! It is amazing but our butts are probably the only thing that hasn't hurt - go figure!!! Central casting sighting for the day.....a sweet old beagle laying square in the middle of a side road,, daring anyone to disturb him, raised his head as if to say "Oh another old hippie trying to recreate their youth" - cracked us up. Smooth riding and happy days love and miss you all Flame and Big Dog

Holy Sh*t! Oklahoma! You guys are maniacs. I can't believe you've gotten that far in less than a week. You're gonna get to Sedona waaay too early. You'll have done all the sweet rides before we even get there.

Can't wait till then so we can hear first hand all about the journey. Keep on truckin' and we'll see you in 19 days!

Love you man (and you too Jo)
UE and AL
