Home for the night

It was pouring rain when we headed for breakfast. We decided to book another night and hopefully the rain will move on by tomorrow. We read and watched tv all day. We took time out from our busy activities to reserve a motel room in Waynoka for tomorrow night. It rained most of the day with winds exceeding 50 mph. New day, blue skies and just a light breeze. We walked to the convenience store for a breakfast pizza and sauage biscut. We needed to wait until the sun got high enough in the sky as to not bother the east bound drivers. We hate it when they can't see us in front of them. At 9:00 we turned off CNN and rolled the trikes out of their shelter and headed east out of town. We cruised along until we were stopped by a large paving project. In order to avoid the narrow temporary road they let us ride on the new concrete road. We enjoyed that 2 mile stretch road. Shortly after leaving the paving project we turned north on a road with lots of oilfield traffic. Everyone was nice and we made it to the Little Sahara Sand Dunes in time for lunch. We walked out on the dunes with our bare feet and felt the warm but damp sand between our toes. Nice to be a kid again. A short 4 miles to Waynoka and our motel for another night inside. We did a walking tour of town and saw lots of old buildings that were mostly empty. We learned about the rattlesnake roundup from a 29 year participant. He only got bit once and then he quit. We found the Waynoka museum whose home was in the old Fred Harvey House. We learned about the early train and air travel history dating back to Lindberg and Erhart. TWA stopped here on their flight from Chicago to Los Angeles. Who would have guessed. We bought some mircowaveable food for supper and settled in for some tv and reading.
