Tulsa seemed fairly boring at first; The Center of the Universe exists here apparently. You can stand at a certain area near a very tall building and hear your echo in a very "unnatural way". Can't really explain it. I'm sure somebody was leaving the huge office building and discovered that their voice sounded strange while walking past the area. So now.... center of the universe.
After visiting the center of existance, we went to River Park and found out we could use bicycles for free. If you are ever in Tulsa, be careful about what bike you choose. It is absolutely ridiculous how many bikes don't come off of their chains after you choose it.
There are about 25 miles of trails all around the Arkansas River. I'm guessing that we rode about 7 miles around the river area. My opinion of Oklahoma has changed dramatically during the bike ride; not to mention the car ride put it into perspective as well. You know that American song about Amber Waves of Grain? I'm assuming it was referring to Oklahoma. I could be wrong, but it might as well be. The fields are actually amber.
Tonight we are staying at Trey's house, an MMA fighter going to school at The University of Tulsa. It is pretty cool to see what the college life is like out here. So while Tulsa seemed to offer not all that much, it has so far ended up being a pretty good time.
That is about all for Tulsa. Tomorrow will be the first day of an actual "adventure". We'll be camping in the second largest canyon in North America just south of Amarillo, Texas. Next stop Amarillo.

Palo Duro Canyon sounds like a lot of fun! Watch out for rattlesnakes. Isn't Amarillo where that cadillac ranch is? You guys should check that craziness out. =) --Courtney

I had a dream that you came back early because jeff was supposed to meet up with you on your trip and he decided he didn't want to anymore and you guys couldn't continue because he was needed to help fund it or something.
