East Coast--On the road again--Day 2

We have finally loaded up and headed out on our newest adventure. Although our main destination is the east coast we actually started out going south. We left yesterday morning and drove down to the Arbuckle RV Park in Sulphur, OK, for the monthly meeting with our local RV club. We'll be here until Sunday and then will really start moving east.

This weekend is the Murray County Tractor Show. I went over to the fairgrounds this morning with a few of the guys to see what was going on. They had a pretty good size flea market set up and a bunch of old tractors on display. They had a really old steam driven tractor that they were giving rides on. It had a whistle that sounded like a train.

In the afternoon Joanne and I drove over to the city of Gene Autry, OK, to visit their museum. The museum is in what was the school building and is quite large. Many years ago the original town offered a deal to Gene Autry, the Singing Cowboy. If he would provide the stuff for a museum the town would change it's name to Gene Autry. It all worked out for everyone. The museum has a very large selection of Gene Autry stuff but is also dedicated to all the cowboys, and some cowgirls, of the movies and early television. A person could easily spend a large part of a day touring this place. If you ever find yourself in Southern Oklahoma on Interstate 35 it is worth your while to take the short drive east of Exit 40 to the City of Gene Autry and take a walk through yesteryear.
