Ken,

When I lived in New Mexico, I drive back to Indiana several times to see my
son, and I passed through Oklahoma each time. I never took many photos in
OK, though. For some reason I just didn't spend much time there looking
around the way I did when passing through Texas and New Mexico. This time, I
spent a lot of time photographing in Oklahoma and I found a lot of
interesting places. I wish I'd had the money and time to spend a few weeks
there. I have several others from OK to scan, plus all the stuff I shot in
Texas and NM on this trip.

I'd have asked the bikers if you could shoot some pics of their church, they
probably would have been cool with you photographing. Most bikers are nice
guys if you go up to them and introduce yourself and tell them what you're
working on. I think I passed by Elk City, I wish I'd known of the place, I'd
have gone to look for it myself!
