News Around Vinita, Ok.

Hi Friends,

First off I'm posting the pictures of Excelsior Street, then in about 6 months I'll show you the finished product.(I hope)


End of county portion of new road. Beginning of city road.
Hang On! It gets really bumpy.

We're going to proceed West on Excelsior. Come on, be brave.

The water is buffering the bumps.


This is the last block before the main road(Wilson St.)
Actually it's not as bad as behind us.

Thanks for riding with me, now you see why we are anxious 
for the road project to be completed.

I went over to Grand Lake about 18 miles from Vinita this morning. They have 7 to 9 gates open. I took some pictures. I'll post them next time. I seem to be stuck on a theme here. Water and more water. Actually if you don't live around here you won't know about our Grand River Dam. It was built in the 1930's. Quite an accomplishment for the time. There is a large dam, two spillways, and a turbine generation system. Come back next time for a small history lesson.

Until Later,
Okie Girl @ Home
