Boise City

Another beautiful morning drive thru the Arkansas River gorge. Long winding drive that parallels the river. I am sorry that I hadn't done much research for our trip because I might have gotten Royal Gorge on my radar. Apparently the "grand canyon" of the Arkansas River. We drove right by it. Hope we will back again...Looped down into New Mexico on I-25, then headed east into the Oklahoma panhandle on 412. The topography really flattened out and is everything I had imagined Oklahoma to be. Flat plains,, not even a tree. However we did finally see wildlife. We spotted several deer, and one small herd of deer as we drove the plains. Looking for them kept us awake!
Overnight in the small town of Boise City. Wild Bill's RV park. No wild Bill, no restrooms, no showers, but very quiet! And it did have a little minature golf course. Not sure where you get your putter?
We were right across from the Cimarron Heritage Center, so Auggie and I wandered around the outside. Since we are so close to Kansas, it had a large "tin man" and a dinosaur sculpture. I think some bones had been found nearby. Couldn't get in, but I understand that they have a replica of a typical home from the dust bowl era. This location was almost the heart of the dust bowl. Would have been good to get into the center for more historical background.Read more
