Well, today it seemed like a good day to get out and do a road trip. I had not been in Drumright in a very long time and way back then I just was in a hurry to get through it. This time I wanted to find the Tidewater winery?
Curious about the place and the venue of having music and meals on third Thursdays? So after church we set off on a short road trip… well first was lunch…
and we h ad to drop off some citronella cuttings that a friend wanted… but then on the road and off toward Perkins and then Cushing… I wanted to find the Dangerous Motors there… they had advertised in the local paper that they do custom rebuilds and figured I should check and see what they had…not that I am getting one but always interested.. They had two 55 chevy’s in the front… but not much else to look at…
I had one a long time ago, although Mine didn’t look that good… ha! and was a real lemon. Always something going wrong that had to be fixed.
The real interesting thing about Cushing and Drumwright is the building muriels… a lot of them…
And a lot of churches and some a bit strangely built or rather old style… I am sure I missed a lot of the building paintings in Cushing but then we were off to Drumright… and they have a lot there as well…
oh and Drumright is filled with old antique stores…
with unique attractions… this one had a soda fountain in the front, closed on sunday but interesting to peak in..
The real reason I stopped here was the super chicken on the corner caught my eye… then all the other stuff popped out… ha!
And this one???? had to look close and read the name on the building???? seems I remember one that looked a lot like this south of Lamar… all gone now but back in the 70’s some of the shack were still standing and I had asked what had been in the area and one old timer said it was a half way stop for trucklers coming up out of Texas on 287 headed to Denver… (that old place was just at the bottom of Gobblers Knob… find that one… ha!
Well we finally found the winery… and it was open? think they had a reception going on that was just over so we snuck in and looked around the store, used the facilities and I bought a bottle of wine… might have to make it back for one of the Third Thursday things? interesting place…
Well we had reached the point that I was looking for so it was time to head home… the rest of the evening was spent reading, radio, and other things of no interest to anyone but use…
