Over the next few days, my wife and I will return to Colorado but will forego the all-too-familiar, 11-hour drive along Interstate 70. Rather, we will dip southwestward through eastern Kansas and then cross northern Oklahoma. Once we are west of Enid, we will be crossing unfamiliar terrain.
We have enjoyed numerous roadtrips across most of the Lower 48 but have managed to bypass a few areas; one of these is northwest Oklahoma, including the State's Panhandle. Planning ahead, we have identified a few State Parks and nature preserves that we hope to visit along the way. Of even more interest (especially for me) is the chance to encounter landscape as yet unseen.
Reports on our journey and sightings (some surely unexpected), will follow. Of course, we will pay close attention to weather reports as we cross Tornado Alley in mid spring.
