Yo Oklahoma.

Bonjour, mes amis. Two posts in one day. How about that?

Yesterday, we arrived in a quaint little town in Kansas, and were told that there was a 90% chance we would be there for two nights. We were a little surprised, but not horribly shocked, when we were told the next morning we'd be rolling out of Kansas that afternoon and heading to Oklahoma. Parking lot repairs/maintenance of the DOWs and a probe continued until early this evening, but a select few probes were given leave to depart early for the big OK.

Six of us squished into one of CSWR's roomier probes and decided to make a pit stop at Oklahoma's Fort Supply Lake (we saw a dust devil and a fire on the way). The sky blessed us with a few moments of sun before it decided to totally cover itself with clouds and turn an otherwise pleasant day into a windy, chilly one, so our stay at Fort Supply Lake was short and sweet.

The day's almost done. Tomorrow we get up early and head out to another part of the Great Plains of the United States of America. Maybe DOW5 will make it here by then.

Scout returns from a Walmart run. Notice the bear taped to the mast.

Meanwhile, DOW6 (with the white beeeeehind) and DOW7 (looking pretty in blue) party in the hotel parking lot while scientists, engineers, and menial labor (ie grad students) try to get them functioning to the best of their abilities.

Fort Supply Lake. It was lovely.
