Henryetta,Oklahoma is Where We Are

Unfortunately, Don did not give me any photos of some his more recent sightings. So I will just be informing you of what he is doing and possibly of when he will be leaving from where he is at. Don has been showing of Waji and the books last night and again early this evening at the carnival going on in town. He should be visiting the rodeo later tonight and but not sure if he is staying for it again tomorrow night. The latest he plans on leaving is Sunday unless something unexpected comes up.

Night's Stay

Our plan is to stay at least a night or two in Henryetta, Oklahoma. I do believe they are having some sort of labor day celebration and may stay if I can find a place to pitch the tent.

Very Nice Help at Church

We stopped at a church (Arrow Heights Baptist Church) last night just to ask for a place to pitch our tent. Instead with a couple of persuading nudges, we ended up spending the night in a Quality Inn with a comfortable bed, a much appreciated shower, and a free continental breakfast. How nice! In turn I left them with one of my books for their much appreciated night of comfort.

Staying in Tulsa until Weekend's Event is No Go

We were asked to pull up camp where we were staying last night. And could not find a place to stay so pitched tent for the night behind a church hoping we would not be causing any trouble. I don't think it was a problem since we did not get any visitors asking us to move. Otherwise since we can not find any camping nearby, we are going to start heading south on Hwy 169 earlier than we had wanted to.

May Have Been Viewed on National TV

Waji and I were able to shake hands with Bubba Stanton, the big winner of weekend's races, in the winner circle and it may have been televised on national TV.

Being Seen And Doing the Watching

Waji caught many people's attention both young and old. And many photos were taken of her.

Of course, Waji was also watching what was going on around her being in positions all over so that she could get a good view.

(Not Pictured) She could also been seen watching the cars go from one end of the racetrack to the other.

Getting Closer to Border

I believe the name of the town we are in is Cherryvale, Kansas. We are about 20 miles from the Oklahoma border.

More Pictures

These pictures are of the bandaged injuries I received when we wiped out and of the camp we stayed at that night at the reservoir.

Where We are Now

We are in Chanute, Kansas today getting some things done.

Mitcheville, Iowa (pictures)

We went through this small town and I thought it was cool looking. Also, it was flooded out and therefore moved.

Our Next Town

We should be arriving in Iola, Kansas within the next hour.
