279 miles for the day and 3,670 miles for the trip - The theme of the day, how many cow patties can I run over on the roads. But seriously, there were a number of cows on the road today :)
For those that don't know, I own a very small 20 acre ranch in Brooksville, FL - we have three cows (more specifically two heifers and a bull). Riding with the cows on the road today brought great joy - I was smiling and laughing at them the whole time. Paul even commented on how 'giddy' I seemed. I thoroughly enjoyed riding my motorcycle straight through the many herds of cows on and around the roads here in Oklahoma!!
Animals:Jack Rabbit, Buffalo, Reindeer, and a Coyote. Which reminds me, the coyote was lucky to see me first - had I known what he was, he would've probably not made it to see another day. I was grabbing for my Glock... I could probably write another blog "things jerry killed on the TAT" :)
I pulled out the drone today. we were in such a great spot with some interesting terrain. Though, I can't upload videos today (did I say that we are in Boise City, OK? Matt says they can't spell WiFi), here is a shot of Paul and I on the ground.
Here is a view of the road we were riding
Was able to upload one video from my GoPro: (apologies now for the angle - I'm trying new things with the GoPro)
I couldn't help but think about the small towns today. Every single one of them - minimal opportunity, mostly cattle support or oil/gas. Everyone is very friendly that I've spoken to and most everyone waves at you - sometimes ecstatically.
I almost forgot to mention - I am a HUGE fan of "Real Beef Jerky" by Robertson's Hams. I've been buying this stuff direct from them forever. They are here in Marietta Oklahoma - well, for the first time since I've been in Oklahoma, I found some of their spectacular Beef Jerky at a Love's gas station. (Love's has even branded it - but I know the truth) - it can be found directly at Robertson's
I have finally claimed a piece of the TAT! Paul has had a number of 'oops' here and there sporadically across the TAT (bridge and a couple times on a road in Arkansas). I had mine on this two track cattle road in deep sand. Kinda just laid on over while going about 11 mph up a hill. See below, that is me pointing to the hill that I now own.More specifically, I own the back side of that hill. "Jerry's Hill" - 36.9502053, -101.1869315
I have certainly found a new appreciation for Oklahoma - not the cities. But the vast openness of Oklahoma appeals to me. @nancysherman, I did see 2,386 Acres for sale out there... :)
