OKLAHOMA, GAGE

We head due south into Oklahoma and then straight to the Mitchell home place.  We survey the cattle on the place and I finally get to meet the rancher who leases this place.

We go two miles north to the other Mitchell farm.  I decide to walk the boundary (160 acres) but only make it half way.  Peggy rescues me at the gas well with her bicycle.  We now see what has to be done to comply for another CRP contract.

We ride into Gage, my hometown, and notice that the only business still open is a bank and a bar.  We stay at the Gage beach, a 5 acre artesian lake.  We listen to a train come through about every 15 minutes.
