Day 7

Tulsa to Weatherford, only 200 miles today.  We started the day by having to go to the Harley Davidson dealer for some running repairs. This meant that we started our journey an hour late.  We started off and went to a place called Seaba where they had a, wait for it, motorbike museum! So while I went in with Mr Pakes, Mrs Pakes sat outside with some other ladies and took photos of a swallows nest. We saw some lovely old bikes including a Triumph Bonneville which was still in it's crate since 1979. We also saw this C.H.I.P.S bike.

We then went for lunch at the Rooster cafe where we had a chicken fried steak, which was actually beef. We then carried on our journey but had to miss stopping at the round barn because there was a storm brewing, we had just ridden through some dust clouds blown across the fields and the temperature seemed to cool. Next we went to the Cherokee trading station where I met a buffalo.
We also saw some real ones!
We left the trading centre and went down what is called chiropracter road by our tour guide. It is a cement road with joints so is a bit bumpy. On the way we went over a bridge that is almost a mile long.
From there it was just a few more miles to the hotel. Again the temperature was seen to be 94 degrees farenheit (34 degrees celsius)

  1. You should have stopped at a bird museum and the men could have stayed outside and taken photos of motorbikes. Horrid day here yesterday - rained all day!

  2. I get the impression Mr. Pakes has had some influence over your writing today Barton, chicken that's actually beef, interesting!
