28 July 2013, Oklahoma City East KOA, Oklahoma

I panicked when I discovered the refrigerator had been off all night. Since have 6 nights of home-cooked dinners prepared I was not, ahem, a happy camper. Thankfully Issy could ferry me to the store for ice.

We hosted a quick RV-side breakfast and because it was time to giddy-up and go over to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum!


This is an amazingly expansive collection of everything cowboy - saddles, barbed-wire, chaps, brands, hats, you-name-it. Cowboy-related art - paintings, sculpture. Movie memorabilia. An authentic cowboy town, lots of fun stuff to see.


Alex bought himself a Davy Crockett hat as a souvenir.

There was so much to see and we hated to leave our cousins but we had only a limited time.  We did, however, stop and have lunch at the museum. $10 adults / $5.00 kids, drinks included,for the best buffet ever.

Look! Old arches!


We headed out of Oklahoma and drove across Texas.  I made Paul pull over at Michael's to buy spray paint. The boys could not figure out what had come over me!  Well, what I knew that they did not was that we were nearing Cadillac Ranch. This is a crazy art project installed in the 70's of 10 Cadillacs, nose down into the dirt. (Apparently at the same angle as the great pyramids of Giza.

The smell of spray paint was strong and you had to avoid the down-wind overspray. Maxwell parked himself inside one of the cars and worked on "KeegFilms" on YouTube (his channel.)   I hope it stayed up for at least a day!



Here he is!
