Another bluebird sky day on tap as we set off early again. We headed South before turning East and crossed the remainder of the Texas Panhandle. We chose our route today to avoid the dreaded Interstate 40 and by pure chance ended up on some fine riding roads.
We crossed into Oklahoma:
As we progressed East, we watched the countryside change from open, flat, dry, farmland almost devoid of trees to a more green, lush landscape. At one point Tom described it as bucolic!

After 373 miles we arrived in Talihena, OK and the Hootie Creek House Bed & Breakfast.
This place got great reviews on Trip Advisor and quite rightly so. This was one of the only Hotels in town and had been closed for many years and was on the verge of being condemned. The current owners, Essex and Caroline, swooped in and spent over two years renovating the building before moving in themselves and opening the B&B. It truly was a wonderful place and once again we felt lucky to be able to stay there. We popped across the street to the Diner for supper - Fried Catfish and Hush Puppies - Yum!Trip: 373. Moving Av: 54mph. Moving time: 7hrs
