The drive through the Dallas, Texas area and on to Tulsa was windy with sometimes heavy traffic. We were concerned, too, that the only license plate on the trailer is, as far as we know, untraceable since it gives only the name of the dealer from whom we purchased the rig. And toll roads in Texas (which we found unavoidable) are pay-by-plate. Should be interesting! We were happy to arrive at our RV park by 4 p.m. and to have a ready supper in the form of leftovers in the fridge.
Oklahoma’s oldest geocache (placed in February 2001) is near Tulsa at Keystone Dam Lake. The half mile hike to the cache was along easy trails but we had forgotten how hard it is to work in 80% humidity at about 90 degrees.
We visited other caches in the Tulsa area.
In deciding how long to stay in a location we read suggestions from campground guests and Trip Advisor reviews. We were surprised that we had not heard of either of the two following museums.
The Woody Guthrie Center contains over 10,000 pages of archives moved from New York to Tulsa in 2013. Materials include original lyrics, artwork, notebooks, flyers, and photographs.
The Bob Dylan Center is in the same block as the Woody Guthrie Center. Dylan was heavily influenced by Guthrie and thought it appropriate that his archives be located near those of Guthrie. The day of our visit was the first day the $10 million dollar facility was open. It contains 100,000 pieces of Dylan material.

Wow! Neat museums!
John says how did you time that so well to be there when the Bob Dylan museum was opening?
