[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2099024, member: 26737"] You're about three months early for nature pics, but architecture would be good. I'd hit OU, particularly Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the National Weather Center, and the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History; the National Cowboy and Western History Museum (formerly known as the Cowboy Hall of Fame; [url]http://www.nationalcowboymuseum.org/[/url] ); the 45th Infantry Division Museum; the OKC Zoo; and Downtown Guthrie. The JM Davis Gun Museum is worth the trip to Claremore if you can swing it. If you could go closer to 75 miles, there's the Wichitas/Arbuckles and Mt. Scott, but they'd be better in May or June. There used to be a restaurant called the Eagle's Nest at the top of Founders' Tower on NW Expressway; it closed several years ago, but you might see if there's another opened in its place. It featured seating in a rotating ring that circled the tower, and it was a great place to eat around sunset, providing (IMHO) the best views of OKC. I'm told that the view from the Devon Tower is also spectacular, but I don't know how accessible it is. [/QUOTE]
