What a neat town! Two days was just not long enough. The Cowboy Museum was excellent. Much beautiful art and sculpture, plus cowboy history. Great sections on ranching, cowboy life, settling the west, and a wonderful exhibit on TV and movie westerns. Nancy identified correctly 12 out of 12 TV western theme songs! Northeast of town is POPS, a store specializing in bottled soda pop. We have a few examples. There were thousands of bottles and dozens of varieties. Darrell does has some additions to his bottle cap collection. Then on to Bricktown in OKC. We rode a water taxi through the renovated part of downtown, similar to the Riverwalk in San Antonio where historic buildings have been updated and made into a real happenin' place. The bronze statues commemorating the 1889 land rush were particularly well done in 1 1/2 life size.
