Today I clocked 430 miles on the bike, round trip from Norman to Gloss Mountain State park and Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge. Gloss Mountain was awesome to behold, and today was a perfect day. Crosswinds near the salt plains were horrible, and the salt flats were uninspiring to me.
I met a few very nice people. A lady named Suzy who owns a pharmacy in Fairview who would not let me pay for a soda and stayed late talking to me. Three separate times, while I was looking at my phone or map guys stopped to ask if I needed directions or help. One guy pulled up in an old Land Rover to compliment my bike, and he was a R1150GS owner. Another guy gave me directions and he has a couple old Hondas (cb550 and cl360).

| I got stuck and had to remove my panniers to lighten up and pull the bike out by hand. |
 |
| I dropped it three times while trying to pull it backwards |
 |
| Finally, I did get the bike un-stuck and turned around. |
 |
| Too bad, I would have loved to get a some salt flat pictures of the bike. |
