Oklahoma
- Top of hill in eastern Oklahoma.

- Storm cellars and bail bonds.
- Approaching Eufaula, first sign mentioning destination.
- Entrance ramp to Route 69, Eufaula area. Sign's upside down, not that it matters in this case. ;-)

So, where's the wrestling pics? You'll have to see the other years' pages for that; in 2001 I couldn't stop wrestling long enough to take pictures of any matches. If you have any 2001 pics to contribute, feel free to e-mail them and I'll post them.
