Amarillo to Ardmore, Oklahoma


Early start today…roads are 287 South- 256 East- 62 East- 7 East – 76 South to Ardmore…these were small roads winding out of Texas and into Oklahoma!
Not much scenery to speak of…but lots of weirdness…
Part of the fun that I enjoy back roads is there are few people, usually the ones that live there, and the old building are unique and some restored some abandoned…
Some little towns pack so much charm you can really tell that the people living there are happy and prideful…
While other little towns…are sad, lonely and discarded…and I wonder how the people that live there get by financially and spiritually…
Today was filled with the latter…
Town after town after town…and there was an epidemic of biblical proportions of Grasshoppers…all over the road…I first that it was debris, leaves, logging trucks debris etc…but upong slowing down and getting a closer look…IT WAS GRASSHOPPERS!!!  Millions of them…
As I rode through the country side getting pelted with their little bodies….Ughhh!! 
My helmet, gear, moto and creature loving soul….severely damaged in this ….
Made it to Ardmore, Oklahoma just before the storm….
Whew!!
