Historic Fort Sill and Oklahoma City!

Trip-164 miles

Log-4422 miles


A great day visiting the Army Artillery Museum at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

I spent 8 weeks here in the Winter of 1964 for my Artillery Individual Training before being assigned to the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii.


It brought back some good and bad memories of those difficult training days.

The 105mm Howitzer was the most effective weapon in WWII, Korean War and the Vietnam War.  All the training for cannoreers was accomplished here at Fort Sill.


We continued North today to Oklahoma City.

Toured the State Capitol Building and the Art Gallery inside.


We then went to the National Memorial for the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995, where 168 innocent people were killed, it was quite moving.



Stayed near Oklahoma City for the night will continue our journey north early tomorrow morning.
