Oklahoma City: National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum

We drive about two hours and 'set up camp' at the Rockwell RV Park on the western edge of Oklahoma City. It's an older park, but reasonably priced, indoor pool, nice restrooms, free coffee and muffins in the morning and a nice surprise -- free and fast WIFI.

We have lunch and head to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. We spend the afternoon learning everything you ever wanted to know about cowboys and Western art. The museum not only includes everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about cowboys (history, rodeos, television and movies, etc) but has wonderful exhibits on Western (United States) art. Photography in the art exhibits is not permitted so no pics from that section of the museum.

The impressive "End of the Trail" sculpture is in the lobby:

We come back to the RV for dinner, and make a Wal-Mart run for groceries and other miscellaneous supplies. I was hoping for a large grocery store, but the Wal-Mart is so close. I am not a fan of grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, but they always seem to be at convenient locations on this trip.

We get some exercise at the indoor pool (with large, tacky, plastic palm trees) in the evening and call it a day.
