Every year around this time people flock to the eastern part of Oklahoma to take the scenic route known as the Talimena Drive.
I had never been and seeing that we could use a break from the political turmoil in the US right now, I loaded up my mom and brother to take the trip yesterday. I thought it would be nice to just zone out for awhile and look at some pretty trees together.
Somehow I didn’t realize it would take all day. The drive there was around three hours. We stopped once along the way at a casino for a bathroom break and to throw away twenty dollars.
After what seemed like forever we finally made it to the place I’d heard so much about. Apparently so did everyone else. I couldn’t believe the amount of people there! There were cars parked everywhere along the side of the road with people out enjoying the scenery. Most of the parking areas for viewing were packed but I was able to find a few spots to park and take pictures.
I didn’t think the hills in Oklahoma were very high up, but as we went up into the mountains I noticed we were above the clouds. It was beautiful. The best part was most of the trip was in an area of bad cell service so we got to spend that time enjoying our time together before coming back to the real world.
It was around nine hours of driving but I would say it was worth it.
