Since I found my myself at the epicenter of the panhandle universe, and since the Oklahoma panhandle is just 34 miles wide, why not drive to Texas, and visit its panhandle?
On US Route 54 Oklahoma ends, and Texas begins, at the town of Texhoma. It's a Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas thing, but the Texhomas are much smaller.
As you can see in the picture on the right, Texas is the second most populous state in the union.
Why is the man below happy? Probably becaue he just left the Happy State Bank in Stratford, Texas.
Throughout the Great Plains, the yucca plant is a common site, and the Texas panhandle is no exception.Next: My return to western Kansas.
