One of the greatest road trips we have taken took us through western Oklahoma. Many have questioned what I enjoyed about a landscape of never ending plains, but that really was part of the attraction. I thoroughly enjoyed travelling along those arrow straight roads, littered with windmills, and through the expansive farmland that seemingly had no end. It might not be Disney, but it is still an important landscape in the U.S. One of the more interesting locations we visited was the Great Salt Plains State Park. The park offers crystal digging on the salt plains, but at a site that is approx. 1 mile out. America being America, you can, of course, drive and we did so. However, our experience was in the midst of a massive mid-west storm, which presented less than safe conditions. It remains an experience that I am truly glad we took the effort to make happen.
