Departing Norman

As things became a little more clear, it was time to depart Norman and head west. Initially I headed up to 149th Street to I-44 and down to Highway 37. I took that leisurely drive out to Minco and Tuttle. From there I took highway 152 west to Cordell where we sat and watched the Thunder game on the laptop.
