TTrax Posted August 10, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2023 My wife and I are a big fan of storm chasing and the Twister movie. It looked like a day trip to get to this museum, so on the spur of a moment we decided to make a run for it on a weekend. If you are in the area it might be worth dropping by. It would have been a lot shorter trip if I hadn't got lost twice on the way here. I ended up in Kiowa, KS before I started to check myself for incorrect routing. Its all good, it was a fun trip. Also missed the Salt plains nearby due to lack of time but we were able to make it on the next weekend.. I would NOT recommend taking a bike on the road to get to the salt plains due to the degradation of the road. We took it in a van but I think it would have rattled the fairing off the bike if we had tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTrax Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted August 10, 2023 OK here are the salt plains nearby, about 30-45 minutes from Wakita OK. Not recommended to take the road here on a bike unless you are OK with going 5-10 MPH for some stretches. It is basically an oilfield road that is used for access to the area. From what I'm told, this is the remnant of the great ocean that used to be inland to the states in prehistoric times. It is quite exotic to think that ocean life existed nearby when this state have been landlocked for millennia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
