Shawnee Oklahoma

   I selected a load that originated in Topeka Kansas and ended in Ardmore Oklahoma. The citizen Potawatomi Nation, in Shawnee, wasn't too far out of route. I gave my family a few hours notice and got permission to park my rig on the north side of the ballfield.

  I got to see lots of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, brother, and parents. Many of them had just arrived from California. 

  My aunt convinced me to hang around until 9 o'clock the following morning. More cousins trickled in and I got to minimally participate in Potawatomi activities.
