We didn’t intend to go through Oklahoma. Last night we had done planning of where to go, and our route would have taken us through New Mexico. However, that was last night. When we started off this morning, we asked for the best route to go, and it was now through the Oklahoma panhandle. This was because traffic in downtown Denver was backed up, so our GPSs were saying going around Denver was better, and if you are going down the east side of Denver, you might as well keep going east.
Oklahoma looked pretty desolate. Maybe the corn has already been harvested, but the fields were covered in dead plants.
I timed our trip across. 1:39:27. However, we stopped for lunch in Boise City. Well, Catalina did. I took off like an escaped prisoner down the road. I got 10.5km before she caught up to me. (She had a relaxing lunch and filled the truck with gas.) My run was very boring with the aforementioned desolation. Very flat land. But I did encounter some grasshoppers that were bigger than any I had ever seen. I will call them “locusts”.
Annoyingly, five minutes of driving after being rescued, there were interesting canyons along the side of the road.
