| This store is in Kenton, OK. Kenton is the only town in Oklahoma on mountain time. There are 18 people who reside here. When we arrived, this man was working on the gas pump and spraying gasoline on the gravel parking lot in front of the store. We asked him where the bathroom was and he said, "It's broke. Just go outside and piss agin' the wall like everyone else." |

| We were on backroads for about 500 miles this day. We drove from Kenton, OK for over 100 miles and never saw a single car or a single person. Neighbors can be 15 or 20 miles apart. There were many dead cows along the roads which died in the worst blizzard in 50 years in OK and NM. It was odd to see cattle roaming in unfenced areas. The countryside is just beautiful and very, very desolate. The roads are better than most in Oklahoma City but we went for about 15 miles which were suddenly unpaved and would be totally unpassable, in heavy rain, without four wheel drive. |
