Day two brings me to the middle of Oklahoma via US Highway 60 through the Osage Reservation. It was another near-perfect day and I had nothing but friendly interactions with people I met along the way. I even commiserated with an old man in Lamont over the loss of the Nebraska - Oklahoma football series. It's hard to believe it's already been 20 years since the two teams played every year.

Thoughts..

Northeast Oklahoma really is a lot like Nebraska. Not as many fields dedicated to crops, but it does all feel very familiar.

Picher, Oklahoma is one of the strangest places I have ever been. Once a city of a few thousand, the U.S. government moved everyone out of town after mining companies polluted the town beyond repair. All that remains are a handful of building shells and an abandoned grid of streets. The area is being slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Not near as many Trump signs today. And a few Clinton signs. Not what I expected considered how the polls show Oklahoma as one of the most Republican leaning states this election.

I'm excited for tomorrow. The wide open great plains are calling my name.
