Pictures from my Oklahoma trip

[gja1000]

The day before I took this pic, my mom told me about my great grandmother and great grandfather who were both from Switzerland but had met and married in Kansas. They traveled to Oklahoma with two covered wagons. When they got to the south Canadian river which was at that time a very wide and deep river - my g-grandmother told my g-grandfather that she was NOT crossing THAT river and if he wanted to get across he would have to drive his wagon across, swim back and drive hers across. He did!

So, when I saw this statue of the horses rearing up at the water crossing, I was flabbergasted that my mom had just told me a story about a river crossing.
