Woolaroc, Oklahoma’s Heritage

I got a chance to visit Woolaroc this Thanksgiving holiday and it was well worth the trip. The weather was amazing, batteries were charged for my camera and I was ready to snap to my hearts content. Since I was alone, I took my time trying to compose each and every picture. How can I describe the pictures? You will have to see for yourself how much fun it was taking the pictures as it is looking at them. You can see some of them here.

 

My 4th of July Weekend

I got a chance to go camping with my friends during the 4th of July weekend, it was long time coming. I hadn’t been anywhere for well over a month and I was really looking forward to it. I had already bought a tent and a canopy since I knew it was going to be really hot, I was prepared for it. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera so I couldn’t take any pictures, which puts a damper on the trip but oh well! I took off Saturday morning on a five hour drive to my friend’s place who lives in Apache, Oklahoma. He lives out in the country and I knew I would be lost but finding your way is half the fun. I was driving alone so I couldn’t wait to get to his place and start enjoying my long weekend. I reached Apache without much problem and had to drive back and forth on the road until I found a gravel road which lead to his house. It took some time to find his place, no cell-phone reception in that area didn’t help either. It was a relief to see a familiar face standing outside his house when I finally made it there. His wife was standing outside to make sure I see her. Frankly, I would have easily missed it if she wasn’t there.

 

Phillips 66 Tank Wagon

Looking at the wagon, I just stood there thinking what all places the wagon had been in her lifetime until she was laid to rest at a local park for people to see. The wagon has seen many seasons since the turn of the last century and it just makes me wonder about the history that is standing right in front of me.  

 

Travel Destination: Canada

I have lived south of Canada for a long time and always wanted to cross the border and explore life up there. My feelings about going to Canada have been strengthened recently, also I would like to explore Canada's wild northern frontier. I want to go there and visit a lot of places and at the same time don't want to look like a tourist with a camera hanging around my neck and maybe a backpack. But what can you do, camera is pretty much a must to capture the beauty and the unforgettable memories. You know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

I don't think I know anybody in Canada so I might need to hunt down somebody I know who can show me around. Mostly, I want to go there for the wild life and nature - I hear Canada is full of surprises with nature parks holding bald eagles, bears, lynxes, wolves and thousand-year-old pines.

With five different regions there's a lot to see and each region has it's own geography and unique culture. You have a choice between The Prairies, Northern Canada, Canada's East Coast, Central Canada, and Mountains or Canada's West Coast. With so much to see and explore there is no way you can see everything in your short visit to Canada. Make no mistake, if you want to see everything than it's going to take a while. I won't go into much details as I am sure there are many sites out there that can do a much better job. I found some really good websites on Google by searching for "travel Canada", try it, I am sure you won't regret it.

I guess it's going to take me a couple of visits to see all that. Tell us what you like about Canada and what region would you rather live in, let's talk "Travelling to Canada"

Who Wants to Travel?

Life could get pretty boring living at one place, living your life like a routine, doing the same things everyday and going back to bed at night. Travelling can be very refreshing for the soul and mind. Where do you want to travel? Your selection of destinations could be different than mine depending on what you want to do or see. I think I would like to start off with a place where nature and environment transforms that place into heaven. Yes, I am talking natural beauty and although there are really good places to see, it is a sad sad day for mankind that there aren't many places left that are not scorched by our hands.

Now you cannot go alone, mind you. I see myself going with either my significant other or with some good friends who would appreciate beauty as much as I do. Both could have totally different experiences because when you go with your significant other, it could be a time to remember for the rest of your lives. Of course your significant other should also be interested in nature for it to be enjoyable.

Maybe this isn't well thought out (and my apologies for that), that's because I just thought of writing it and it is pretty much unedited. All I wanted to do was write something on my newly found interest. Time to go, I can smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
