WELCOME TO
KINGFISHER, OKLAHOMA.
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THERE ALL OUR LIFE AND
UNTIL I GOOGLED
JESSE CHISOLM,
I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE
HISTORY THERE...
THE SHADOWS OF HISTORICAL EVENTS
TO VIEW
IT HAS THE ONLY MUSEUM IN
OKLAHOMA LOCATED ON THE
CHISHOLM TRAIL.
WE WILL BE GOING BACK TO DISCOVER
KINGFISHER, OKLAHOMA
AND FOLLOW THE CHISHOLM TRAIL.
ARE THERE PARTS OF YOUR STATE THAT
YOU DRIVE THROUGH FREQUENTLY AND
HAVE NOT EXPLORED.
THIS IMPOSING STATUE OF
JESSE CHISOLM
WATCHES OVER TRAVELERS AT THE INTERSECTION
OF SH 33 AND 81 IN KINGFISHER.
JESSE CHISOLM, A TRADER
IS KNOWN AS THE
"AMBASSADOR OF THE PLAINS."
I CANNOT DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY
AND PROMINENCE
OF THIS STATUE.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT CAME RIGHT OUT OF
THE BUILDING IT IS ATTACHED TO
HEADED DOWN THE CHISOLM TRAIL.
IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY WHEN YOU
FIRST SEE IT AND IT IS STILL A JOY TO
SEE IT EVERY TIME WE PASS THROUGH
KINGFISHER, OKLAHOMA.
THIS IS ANOTHER MURAL PAINTED ON THE SIDE
OF A BUILDING OFF HWY 81.
WE DIDN'T WANT THE CARS IN THE PICTURE,
BUT HOW DARE US, LOOK FOR THE OWNERS AND
ASK THEM TO MOVE THEIR CARS BECAUSE
MR. SIMPLY, THE PHOTOGRAPHER WITH THE
PINK CAMERA IS IN TOWN FOR A PHOTO
SHOOT.
NO, I THINK NOT...WE WOULD BE RUN OUT OF
TOWN ON THE CHISHOLM TRAIL
WITHOUT A HORSE OR CAR.
KINGFISHER IS KNOWN AS
"THE BUCKLE OF THE WHEAT BELT!"
KINGFISHER, OKLAHOMA IS
SON TO
SAM WALTON,
WHO CREATED..............
WAL MART
AND THE SON TO
FAMOUS AUTHOR AND POET
DON BLANDING.
I DO NOT KNOW THE WORK OF DON BLANDING.
I WILL HAVE TO RESEARCH HIM.
JUST SOME FUN FACTS.
THAT CONCLUDES OUR SATURDAY 2/12/11.
WE HEADED ON TO HENNESSEY WHERE WE TOOK
KORBI OUT TO EAT.
MYA:
IN REGARDS TO YOUR QUESTION ON POST ONE:
MR. SIMPLY REMINDED ME THAT WE DIDN'T TAKE
A PICTURE OF THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE
MURAL WHERE THE TRACKS OF THE TROLLEY CAR
REMA IN.
OH....
TETE:
WEATHERFORD IS IN WEST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
OFF I-40.
EL RENO IS 30 MINUTES WEST OF BETHANY
IN
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

Isn't that just the way it always goes? We live in Lincoln land here. Lincoln's family and him were from our county and there are so many things here that surround that legacy, but we always traveled away from here to see stuff. When we finally realized there were things to do right here within a half an hour, we got around to all those wonderful places. People who live here just don't appreciate it.
I am glad that you are getting out and about with that now famous pink camera and sharing your adventures chasing murals!
Hugs- Tete
When we first moved to our area we explored all around now we have settled back but need to start doing it again. Don loves the Western Channel so following the Chisolm Trail would be right up his alley.
HI Debbie,
Thanks for visiting my blog and I appreciate your sweet comment! I wanted to visit yours and I love following your travels across your state. I am not native to Alabama but I have seen much of the state. I still have so much to see with the Civil War areas here and I love traveling the two lane roads when possible.
I always carry my camera with me and I love murals as you do! Anything unusual even really, you just never know what you will find when away from the abode.
I have tears in my eyes with your blessings for those you care about. I will also add them to my prayers and thoughts!
I do have one lady very special to me if you could add her. Her name is Mary and she has Ovarian Cancer. She just has to be healed of this and is doing well although a set back a few months ago. I would very much appreciate your Blessings for her.
I will follow your blog for updates to your Blessings and your travels. I grew up in Missouri and
spent much time in the Springfield area and the lakes by Branson while growing up! I have a brother who lives in Oklahoma, around Tulsa. It is sure flat there.
Alabama has some beautifull scenery with lots of hills and trees, even the Gulf Coast! It is just Too HOT Here but today is beautiful at 58 degrees already.
It was nice to meet you Debbie and
it has been my pleasure! Your cats are beautiful and very welcoming!
Smiles, Cyndi
Please stop by http://gypseanurse.blogspot.com
post isn't up yet.. but will be1!
Yeh for you!!!
I just love history -thanks so much for sharing !
Wow! That had me in tears! HOW sweet of you to send out all that love and attention - you are so special.
Thank you for your sweet comment (in caps or not, I appreciate them all ;) and I hope you have a wonderful weekend,
Kristin xoxo
Thanks so much for stopping by. I am so sorry someone left an unkind comment, I like the way you write it, it's easy to read!
I am doing well, but I have a couple of prayer requests. One of my best friends had a little baby born at 23 weeks gestation. She is now at 36 weeks and still struggling. You can read about her here http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/genevievelickona
Please pray for her strength and for the stength of her parents.
Also please pray for my mom, she will be having her fourth back surgery in 3 years this Tuesday.
Thanks for all the joy you bring others.
God Bless
:) Michelle
Hi Debbie! Thanks for stopping by my giveaway! I'm so honored to have my button on your blog~ such a beautiful place here! Love your banner and I see that Lulu made it!!
Big hugs,
paula:)
Debbie we travel on the back roads whenever we go somewhere. There are still some areas of our state we would love to explore.
You are a true prayer warrior and we add our prayers to yours for all those in need. (())
Oh Debbie, I wrote a book here and it got deleted on preview!
I was telling you Many thanks for including "Mary" in your Blessings! You are a very special person and I wish I could type your colorful replies for easy reading.
Many had a very sudden DX of "Extra Ovarian Cancer" and has responded well to chemo but has had two rounds after having a set back. I pray her blood numbers are still better on this next Dr visit this month.
This is your blog and you can type how you like. In fact, I adore your colorful writing and it is easy for me to read also. I need glasses to help see and thank goodness they do help! My husband had tohelp me find them the other day when I knocked them off the bedside table.
I have small fiber neuropathy and can't wear shoe and socks or tight pelvic clothing! When I ask for a cushion in hard chairs most folks growl. Many healthy folks give no thought to others not as fortunate and we never think it will be us. But, we deal with it.
I am so sorry about Amy, I have no idea she was your daughter. I think I knew of her through other blogs who had her profiled. She was one very special and loved girl cut short so soon. I know she is waiting with her friends to welcome others and make it a special transition. But, I understand how your heart aches!
I hope you have a special weekend. I am going to a blue bird seminar as I have several houses in my tiny backyard and want to learn more about them before and after they leave their nests here. I would love to live by the ocean and get my toes in the sand. Hearing the surf can be so comforting. I hope to take my Daisy trailer down soon but our little SUV doesn't pull her to well. I love the two-lane roads anyway with my camera.
Smiles, Cyndi
