It was lovely and dry as we packed up and headed for Oklahoma. We had a nice lunch in a fine park in Sayre, OK next to their local ball field and rodeo grounds. Then we drove to the Washita Battlefield NHS (site 362), which is another sad chapter in the story of the Indian Wars. It relates directly to the Sand Creek Massacre, the site of which we had visited several weeks ago in Eastern Colorado. We had a sobering walk through the scene of the attack. Then it was on to Altus where we actually are staying in a motel! We met our grandson Sam Burrow for a fine Billy Sims barbecue dinner, and then spent a very quiet night trying to get online with our laptop. We drove through a shower, but this flat farmland is very, very dry. Albert is still in the hospital, but hopes to come home tomorrow.
