Resting in Oklahoma City for a Couple Days

Karla and I arrived in Oklahoma City Thursday afternoon.  After a week on this excursion, we plan to spend the next couple days relaxing and refreshing RVMakes3.  On our way (to OKC), we visited The Devil's Rope Barbed Wire Museum in McLean TX, a Route 66 "must see" and the worlds largest barbed wire museum.  The origin of the name "Devil's Rope" came in the 1870's when Barbed Wire was invented.  Injury to unwary livestock was called "The Work of The Devil".  In Shamrock, TX we paused for a couple quick photos of the Texas Conoco Tower Station and U-Drop In Cafe, another "must see" and an impressive example of Route 66 architecture. 

   

Prior to settling into our "spot", we toured the Oklahoma City Bombing Museum/Site which honors the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were affected by the April 19, 1995 bombing.  The outdoor symbolic memorial (pic below) stands on the now-sacred ground where the events of April 19, 1995 unfolded.  What was once the footprint of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building is now a field of 168 empty chairs, one for each person killed on that day, reflecting pool and rescuers orchard.        

Tonight we plan to have dinner in RVMakes3 and enjoy the rest of the evening prior to continuing our pursuit of "The Mother Road" to Tulsa, OK tomorrow.  Please stay tuned for additional blog updates.  We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soon.  And as always, (we are) coming to a driveway near you.  Take care!
