There is very little to see between Midland, Texas, where I spent last night, and the Choctaw Nation town of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, my destination for the evening.  The 8 hour drive is sprinkled with windmill farms and oil fields and damn little else.  I can not really say that my first visit to the Sooner state was worth the extra mileage but it does lift my visited state tally to 47.
