Albuquerque to Oklahoma City

Rt 40 is the choice for this trip east..  Albuquerque; Oklahoma City;Cadiz,KY; Nashville; Asheville; Statesville; Charlotte; Durham....  that's the beginning.

Today's section meant leaving the high desert and driving into the soothing, farmland of Oklahoma.  That is, soothing because we held back traveling for a day while the thunderstorms and tornadoes blew through.  Fortunately, all we saw were large thunderheads in the far distance.

Low cloud layers over green pastures and lots of Black Angus cattle.


Okay, hamming it up because I finished my sweater.
It's Noro yarn and I've been knitting on it for months.  

Ted is a driver. Through all types of terrain, towns, and weather.
I like capturing the photos with his profile, it's like the American Road Trip.
Somewhere in Oklahoma.

Several times we passed miles of windmills. This section only had two rows of windmill,
but in places they went as far as we could see up and down the road and away from the road.

We had seen a variety of Teepees in Arizona and New Mexico but when we got
to Oklahoma, the only ones we saw we these on the top of a shopping center.

The road structures began to change as we moved eastward.

I was very excited to see Water.  Being a Mainer, and really a water lover,
I was loving the Arizona/New Mexico landscapes but really, really missing water.

As the terrain grew softer, water appeared and signs of farming.
