Thru Texas and Oklahoma into Arkansas:

 Service Stations of the past:

 

Thru TX and OK into Arkansas:

This was the starting view on I-40 and it remained similar for many miles. 

 

 Then we started seeing huge fields of grain and corn, below is a huge one of Corn.

 

It is interesting to see these old grain elevators making statements form years past.

The replacement modern elevators serve the huge farm crops.

Then

 

fields got greener with cattle in the fields and under trees.

The ever present windmill power generators.

Seeing some water look good.

And then came Oklahoma where everyone had to sing....

WE entered Oklahoma and immediately started seeing trees. LOL

Like Texas these remote farm houses and rances were about 10 miles apart.

We all smiled at these brown hills, it looked like the last efforts to be like texas and New Mexico.

The above was to be our highwy view for many miles.

It was nice seeing a lot of water and greenery. The roads were very good and we decided we really decided that Oklahoma was OK!

I wanted to post the below. the dark upright is an active Wind turbine, The blades are going to be replaced or have been. JJ looked it up and these turbines cost millions and each one costs 48K$ a year maintenance.  HOWEVER they pay for themselves in a YEAR. WOW

 

And then came Oklahoma City this is a part skyline. YOu will probably that sorry Timothy McVey(?) .

 

This was a giant piece of art over the interstate. It is definitely unique, and impressive.

 WE passed the USAF museum and tis is the only shot I caught.

The picture below is basically the remain highway view until we reached Arkansas. The roads were MOSTLY very good in OK.

 

So on Monday night we will sleep in Arkansas.Next stop.....TENNESSEE!
