WIN!

Our plans this summer were to take one day of the week and tour Oklahoma. For the first month of our summer vacation we have failed at our planning but last week we headed out to the Oklhoma City Zoo on our combined day off and this week we headed out to the Bass Pro Shop in Broken Arrow and then off to find The Peach Barn located in Porter, OK.

J had the GPS going on his new phone, but as soon as we pulled off the expressway onto the rural roads his phone died. We knew the barn was located at the corner of HWY 51 and HWY 69 and that we were somewhere to the southwest of that. We followed signs to a Lindsay Orchard, hoping that would lead us to The Peach Barn. Instead it put us on a dirt road in the middle of who-knows-where.

We followed our sense of direction thinking we were going north, praying that eventually we would run into HWY 51, it had to be 4 miles north of us. After driving down a one-lane dirt road thankful that it was a bright sunny day and not night time, we finally saw some hope in our future. There was a road ahead of us that there were many cars driving on. This had to be HWY 51. Well it wasn't HWY 51 but it WAS HWY 69. WIN!

We drove it north to HWY 51 and there was the Peach Barn. WIN AGAIN!

We toured the small building filling our small basket with some goodies and then I saw the sign "Cash or Checks only" REALLY? You have got to be kidding me! Being a server I SHOULD have more cash on me but I had just made a deposit the other day. I had $7 on me. We bought 1/3 of our goodies and then headed into the small town of Porter, Ok to search for an ATM. Their bank did not have one. We checked out their only gas station. I sent J in to look. He came out with....... MONEY! WIN US A THIRD TIME! We drove back to the Peach Barn to buy the rest of our goodies and headed back to Tulsa.
