Go! Go! Go!

So today we decided that we would leave Hickory Creek, no matter what. On a glorius spring morning we packed up and drove down to the Post Office to check the mail one last time, fully prepared to leave a self addressed envelope to have the papers posted back to England when they turned up. The lady went to the back of the Post Office to check, no joy, but said she would just check one more time the latest mail. Joy of Joys, Relief of Reliefs, she came back waving our letter, it was as the bootom of the box, yes it had arrived, like the Fifth Calvary, at the last possible moment for us to continue on our way.
Having now retrieved our mail we scurried back to our trailer, hitched up and headed north, into Oklahoma, bypassing Oklahoma City and arriving in Guthrie by about 4.00, on a lovely sunny afternoon. Why of all the places we could go to in Oklahoma did we choose Guthrie? Well our good friends Sandy and Don suggested that it may be a good place to find out more about Oklahoma that it was quintessentially Oklahomaian! (my word). Besides which Don had been brought up near there in a tiny place called Meridian and knew the area well.
