Oklahoma!

Today we got our toe down!

The mundaneness of the Interstate was relieved by a stop to see the Meramac Caverns (Jesse James' Hideout).

We got off the I44 after lunch and back onto the Historic Route 66...

After racing a train (!?) we decided to stop for the night in Chandler, Oklahoma - allegedly the nicest town on Route 66. It's right in the heart of the Bible Belt, so no beers tonight then :(

But that's OK (no pun intended!) after our meal we were told about the annual rodeo that was taking place, so we went!

There were lots of events and my favourite had to be... Nope, not the main event - although it was well funny when the joker guy got flipped in the air by a bull! No, my favourite event was the calf chase - basically they tie a ribbon onto the tail of a calf and then hundreds of kids (under the age of 12) chase the calf - the first to get the ribbon wins! Mad, but bloody funny!!

Mileage = 512.9 miles
