Not much to report here, a long travel day, and time with family. We had a great but short visit with my Grandmother (88 years old) in Shamrock, TX, then arrived in Elk City, OK to spend the night and visit with my sister. It's so good to see everyone, and I'm sure we'll enjoy the visit.
One thing of note is that on the way here, we stopped off in Groom, TX to see the world's largest cross. It was created by a guy locally, and it includes a 190' metal cross, a replica of the tomb, Calvary, the stations of the cross, and an anti-abortion display with Jesus and an unborn child. Pretty powerful overall and awe-inspiring, especially considering who built it and where it is.

Off to OKC tomorrow for a few days with my parents.

First off, let me say how awesome it is to "join" you guys on your journey. It's both educational and exciting to see where you've gone! When Joe and I drive out to Texas years ago we actually saw that same cross in Groom, TX but we didn't end up stopping. In any case, thanks for sharing with us and safe travels!!
