Research for my next book, Weird Oklahoma, is well under way! I returned from my first trip to the Sooner State just last week and I've begun putting together short video blogs to share some of the things I saw along the way.

The video for Day 1 is now viewable below, and although it mostly covers my first night in an Oklahoma motel, there's plenty more to come, including a tour of a neglected passenger train, a dive into an abandoned, and supposedly haunted, 1930s storm shelter and the most daddy longlegs you've ever seen in one spot.

So stay tuned to the Roadside Resort and the Weird Oklahoma YouTube playlist for more.
