"AGE IS A QUESTION OF MIND OVER MATTER, IF YOU DON'T MIND IT DOESN'T MATTER" Of the 50 riders and crew on this trip half are 60 years of age or older. I'm so impressed by these folks. We all had a tough day today. We left route 66 fairly quickly in the morning as we stair stepped to the south east. The wind continued to be out of the south as it has been for the past two days, so every turn to the south was into it. We also entered the land of continuous rolling hills. One after another after another. The red soil in the fields has been planted to winter wheat which is just emerging. Pastures are grazed by angus cattle. Rain has been building to the west, behind us. It may over take us by tomorrow. Purcell is the county seat of McCain county. It is often called the quarter horse capital of the world. The town was named after a railroad vice president. Amtrak serves the town with its "Heartland Flyer" train. Our next stop in Oklahoma is McAlester.
