75 miles per hour, a
heavy foot, and a straight strip of Interstate go a long way toward obscuring
the pleasures and the treasures that make travel worth living. Just off I-40
sits the town of Sayre,
which boasts a downtown filled with pretty buildings, a magnificent
courthouse, and wildlife wonders smack in the middle of human comings and
goings. See the prairie dog town that's right in town or the heron rookery
just on the other side of the Interstate. An old-line farming and ranching
community, Sayre still holds onto its culture and heritage even as larger
communities fling all to the wind in the mad rush to be modern. Stop in Sayre
and enjoy the quiet, the lovely downtown, or a stroll along the bridge and
enjoy the glorious North Fork of the Red River
at sundown--you won't have to paint the town red: the glorious setting sun
will do it for you.
