Thanks, Bill. I remember passing Meers something-or-other … They were breaking the sound barrier the day we were there and I think that they launched at least three rockets of some type. On the way to Dallas we stopped at The Whistle Stop Cafe in Decatur, TX. I missed breakfast by six minutes. with love, artie

Took awhile to think the artillery practice at Ft Sill wasn’t thunder LOL.

Rode my motorcycle from Tulsa and usually would stop at Meer’s Store and Restaurant for a Meersburger and check out the seismograph.

I understand the seismograph is no longer functional but Meers had one of the best burger and fries in the state.

One of my friends in the St Louis Camera Club was a retired botanist and she had permission to go to the restricted areas.

She brought back stunning images of the flora and the bison.
