The wayward GPS took us on a convoluted journey across undulating lands peppered with oil extraction devices of varied types ending up in the city which is also home to the oldest oil refinery in USA. It turns out that it is now very economical to extract reserves which have been known for years and Ponca City is seeing a bit of a boom in contrast with the surrounding areas. GPS also took us through all the residential streets rather than the direct route an insight into middle USA
Great landscape features but exploration limited due to temperatures & warnings from the locals about the active rattlers. It is recommended that you take a note of the variety of rattler you meet as their venum varies. They all look the same ! :-)
Had to finish off the day with a Mexican beer to accompany the fajitas & carne verde
