When we left out of Sacramento, CA out into the desert towards Las Vegas we came to a road that had a 65 MPH speed limit, and hills like that. My 911 was loaded with two weeks of luggage for two people, and my wife and I felt it compress the suspension, and almost get airborne time after time. It was a crazy road. No way would I speed on that road. |

Oklahoma, 1939... Noonday dinner, family-style, at restaurant in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The price of this dinner was fifteen cents. It included a medium-sized serving of meat, sliced tomatoes and corn on the cob, potatoes, dumplings, corn bread and butter, tea and coffee, various jellies and preserves and onions. All you wanted of everything except the meat... Source Farm Security Administration (Russell Lee photographer) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1699927918.jpg Chickasha, OKlahoma! They have a 50 foot tall Christmas Story leg lamp! They have several little shops on Chickasha Ave to meander through. They are gearing up for their annual Christmas Festival of Lights with lots of pop up shops and activities (later in November) If you’re wondering why a leg lamp? The original leg lamp that was the inspiration for the Christmas story was created by an OU art professor that was born and raised in Chickasha. Everyone was so kind and outgoing. It’s worth the trip. |
