Hi All:

___Here are a few pics of the sites that Randall took Justin, Chuck, and myself too while Dan and Bill were putting in there miles on Saturday of the event.

The weirdest feeling was being at the oil storage tanks next to the pump. You could hear what sounded like a water garden.

Hi Terry:

___Thank You!

___It was not only great to see some of the local sites and get a feel for the history (I was burning through vacation days like crazy anyway :(), it was a nice break away from the intensity of being behind the wheel. Touring was much more relaxing given we (Randall, Louis and I) did not have to do much that weekend except to bring Dan and Bill in from Wichita Friday night, a few hours of instruction and guidance first thing Saturday morning to get them oriented and ready to take the wheel, keeping the data intact after there respective finishes and taking Bill back on early Monday morning. RH77 (Rick) took Dan back to Wichita Sunday evening as he lives in the Kansas City area and was headed that direction anyway. That saved us a 3.5 + hour round trip which was also appreciated. Thanks again Rick! I really enjoyed the day plus off with the tour Randall took us on and just hanging out with the group while someone else was taking care of the miles.

___Good Luck

___Wayne

"Pioneer Woman Statue and Museum honoring the woman who settled Oklahoma with all the adversity they faced."

The statue was a very big deal when it was done here in Oklahoma.
