        I have mentioned my new novel in progress, Bones of Skeleton Creek before.  I took a field trip to Logan County with friends Terry and Jerry to visit the Logan County jail.  We met Sheriff Jim Bauman and Captain Bill Warner, a Logan County police veteran who gave us a guided tour of the facilities.

Logan County has perhaps the nicest facilities of any comparable-sized place in the country.  The phrase that comes to mind is state of the art.  Captain Bill also gave us a personal tour of the old Logan County jail.  As a Vietnam vet, I have seen many frightening things in my life, but the old Logan County jail sent chills down my spine.

On the way back to Edmond, we stopped to scope out the Rockaway Bar, another prominent landmark in my new novel.  We met the owner, Gene Duncan – a very nice person that I soon learned I had lots in common with – and many of his wonderful patrons such as Rick and Carla.

Research is great!  I met many very nice people.  I have not had so much fun in years.  Here are a few pics from my excursion.
