Unfortunately, on the way to Oklahoma Rachel developed the same stomach bug I had and ended up puking behind the welcome to Oklahoma sign. Needless to say we drove as quickly as we could to get to the hotel so she could relax in an air conditioned room. It was during this drive that we saw our first 100+ degree weather just before crossing into Oklahoma.
There really wasn't much to look at on the road between Amarillo and Lawton, it was flat desert (just like New Mexico, and Arizona, and Utah, and...)
We did capture a photo of the largest cross in the Western Hemisphere (as we sped by it) before leaving Texas...I guess everything really is bigger in Texas.
The rooms at the Best Western are nice here with a decent mini-fridge, comfortable beds, plus microwave (with popcorn included). OK so it doesn't take much to please me.
Since Rachel was sick, it was a "chicken soup in the room" night for the two of us, but Don and Pasha were able to go out and explore a bit of Lawton.
Don and Pasha got LUCKY and got a free upgrade to a Jacuzzi suite when they checked in because they checked right after I took the last king size room even though I had reserved 2 rooms for us.... Dogs! ;-)
Don also ended up sick last night and we aren't sure if it is the heat, food poisening, or the flu that has gotten the three of us... It is hot as hell here 104 degrees and 27% humidity. God I miss Seattle.
and they say there's a lot of wide open spaces in the AZ...wow...
