Okemah, OK


Okemah, OK, is the birthplace of one of my favorite folk musicians, the legendary Woody Guthrie. Each year, the town has a folk festival in his name. Guthrie is most famous for "This Land is Your Land," but has also written "Hobo's Lullaby," "The Grand Coulee Dam," and "Mail Myself to You."


Highland Cemetery, in Okemah, OK, was where I had hoped to find the grave of Woody Guthrie ... or at least a relative of his. No luck on that front. But I did catch the sunset.


I didn't think Oklahoma had trees. But it does.
