Woodward, OK

Never heard of it? Yeah most people know one city in Oklahoma and that's only because it was named by someone who didn't want to be too original.

Finally back on the road again... Well I was actually on the road a bit in February, but it was a busy time and I was in San Francisco most of the time... so my evenings were filled with more entertaining things than blogging. Enter Woodward, OK... not exactly San Fran... in any way.

Stopped at the grocery store, saw a guy walk in with no shirt or shoes or socks for that matter, I'm guessing he had a mustache, but I'm not really positive. Made his purchase (pork rinds and cigs I'm guessing) and walked out. Proceeded to peel out in the parking lot in his '98 Lumina. It was sweet...

We flew into Tulsa today to pick up our truck and drive towards Capulin Volcano National Monument. Pretty short trip, it's actually just a continuation of our San Fran trip. That was part of our pilot project for this collection of Cycle 5 National Parks. We're using both our old truck and our new one for comparison and data compatibility.

Back to Woodward... actually had a decent dinner at a BBQ place, pretty authentic small town Oklahoma. Started pouring in the middle of dinner and hasn't really stopped for 2 hours, hopefully no hail on the truck tonight... Here's a little map of the drive, you can infer the correctly by the straight roads... not exactly driving through paradise.
