<strong>Last summer, we craved The Road.</strong> We set out from Tulsa and, over the course of two days, drove to Elk City and back, almost all the way on poured concrete road. We saw a young couple and their pet chicken stop for a bathroom break; we flipped out over the windmills near Weatherford and Clinton (well, one of us in particular); we drank Oklahoma Syrah and two six-packs of root beer from Pops. The horizon flattened, and the dirt showing in the bald spots along the road turned red. And we blasted the 4-60 air conditioner after we saw two staggering sunsets, from start to finish.
