Rolling into Oklahoma we were headed toward Pawhuska, but again found ourselves detoured out into the middle of nowhere to find a few caches. This side adventure was to find a cache titled "August 13th". I mean, after all, you can't pass up your birthday cache. August 13 happened to be in a cedar tree down a lonely road out in the middle of the Oklahoma prairie. It was gorgeous!
I wasn't kidding about being in the middle of nowhere.
Just a short distance away was August 11. Here's Dusty with his birthday cache.
We headed on into Pawhuska home of the Pioneer Woman Mercantile. Both Rachel and I enjoy watching the Pioneer Woman cooking show so this was going to be a fun stop.
It was fun to look around and there was a bakery on the 2nd floor. It's too bad we have to deal with this gluten-free issue. The treats had to be a no-go. We lucked out because we were there when they were offering free tours of the lodge on the ranch where the shows are filmed. Since I'm not much of a shopper this was the more appealing option. We left Pawhuska and headed about 10 miles out into the ranch land and wove our way down miles of gravel road to the lodge. It was a lot of fun to be able to walk through where the cooking show is filmed.
This gentleman talked about what is involved in filming and since Rachel was the only kid around he went out of his way to show her what was in the drawers and in the kitchen.
At the back of the lodge was a commercial kitchen that is also used to prepare the recipes. This was one of the storage areas. Racks and racks of dishes and cookware
The highlight for Rachel was meeting Henry one of the ranch dogs.
We crossed paths with Route 66 again and it gave us a few more interesting sights for geocaching.
