Memphis to Weatherfore OK -May 18

No pictures today; it was all driving. Into Arkansas, a state we have never been in. Lots of green, lots of water, some hills, altogether a nice trip across the state on I40. Oklahoma is also very green with rolling land. Lots of cattle. In fact we shared a 21 ounce T bone for dinner at the T Bone Restaurant on I66. Old 66 sits right next to the interstate here in Weatherford. Last time we had a meal in OK was in 1971 and we had to join a club and have dinner in the bar in order to have a drink with dinner. Apparently, the state went wet in 1988. However, it is curious that the restaurant had only lite beer on tap. Owner said people just will not buy regular beer on tap. Local customs are strange things. This area had a terrible hailstorm a few days ago that did substantial damage; baseball-sized hail. The news had pictures of kids standing neck-deep in what looked like baseballs. That would have put a quick end to this trip had we been caught in it. We did 530 miles on this leg of the trip.
