Watonga, Oklahoma

Just quick update, more will follow later. After an awesomely beautiful, quiet and isolated ride I camped just outside Geary, Oklahoma last night, in a campsite behind a Cherokee Trading Post. Good buffalo burgers. Rode 30 miles north this morning with what started out as mist turning into more and more fog, didn't think anything of it until i heard thunder rumbling, luckily got into Watonga just as it kicked off properly and hid in a friendly cafe, discussing rattlesnakes, cockroaches, cougars, camping rough and travelling in general with some of the good ole boys, who were just like the lead guys from mythbusters. Was a good laugh. Turns out it's severe thunderstorms all the way to the texas panhandle, and tornado watch south of here, when the power started going out in the town figured it was a good day to stop early in the nice cheap motel next door.

Check out weather underground for some good weather stuff of where I am, heres the link for the closest town:

of course, as soon as I'm settled in the sky clear, sun comes out and a gentle tailbreeze springs up. Ah well, it's good to have an early finish for once.

Make the most of that tailwind, Kelv - sounds like the sooner you are out of Tornado Alley the better. Head for the Hills!


(History lesson to follow)
