Oklahoma Drive

First off, this was written prior to being posted, because apparently Internet has not yet arrived in Guymon Oklahoma.
Today I just drove across the state of Oklahoma, sounds boring right? Well it was actually a great time. Forget what the people say, the plains are beautiful. Rather than putt along on the Interstate, I chose the high road (as in more north, not morally higher) I took Highway 412 all the way across the panhandle of Oklahoma. The town of Guymon sits about an hour from the New Mexico border and I stopped here, because for the next 3 hours west the closest thing to civilization is a prairie dog colony. I am still not sure what my plans are for Guymon, but I arrived a few hours ago only to find the power was out in the whole city. The only place with power was Pizza Hut, so Pizza Hut is where I sit. I think I may sleep in the back of my car at the 7 Pines RV park, don’t worry, it is a classy place. After that, I am not sure. I am trying to move as fast as I can to Moab, but it is about 5 hundred miles away, if I go the boring way. If I go the way I want to, it will probably be a two day adventure. It is only two states away it should be closer. Whatever happened to my New England days, when I could go through 4 states in an hour? Those damn rocky mountains are quite the hindrance to a straight shot drive. I am obviously being sarcastic. I am in no hurry. I would like to get to Moab tomorrow, but I know that tomorrow will be an adventure no matter what. There are beaucoup things to hold me up, like Vermejo Park, the Aztec Ruins, Santa Fea, Capulin Volcano, Mesa Verde, Four Corners…and the list goes on. I am almost half way to seattle, that is crazy considering I am so far west, but mileage wise I am only half way there.
