11/2-11/4/16: Left IA went to OK-Washita Natl Battlefield & Black Kettle Natl Grassland

The wonderful Heaps family in Dunlap IA were great to spend time with despite challenging circumstances. Having phone s makes it a bit easier. Let’s all send love daily to those we love and cAre about. I send love and peace now to all the Heaps.

I went through Kiowa OK, learning the extent of actions taken by Carrie Nation-wow, she took a stand and acted on it! All was OK in OK. Washita Battlefield was another sad Indian vs USA brutality for which I am grateful occurs no more. I learned that Natl Grasslands are affiliated with a Natl Forest. Rangers are so helpful! I got great ideas of amazing things to see and do. I decided to camp at McClellan Creek, which was relaxing and pleasing to the eyes and senses.
