As we traveled south from Russell, KS towards the Oklahoma border the landscape was dotted with oil batteries and pump jacks reminiscent of southern Saskatchewan. Lots of oil activity in the area with oil patch businesses and oil tankers on the move.
We have come across quite a few towns that have bricked streets. They are very rough to drive on.
The land color changed from sandy soil to reddish soil as we neared the Oklahoma border. The landscape opened up to large fields, many of sorghum grain still to be harvested. The corn had been harvested but there was still field work being done.
We ate lunch at a truck stop in Medicine Lodge, KS which was next door to the home of Carrie Nation, a gal who was dead set against liquor.
