Ohhhhhhhh-klahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains
Caught up on some sleep last night in Elk City, OK. Waiting for Dad to get ready so we can label some photos and then head over to the National Route 66 Museum. It opens at 9 a.m. We're in the Central time zone now.
Yesterday's highlights:
*Driving on real, authentic Route 66 concrete. The road was narrow but very cool.
*Tucumcari certainly had a lot of old hotels but the Blue Swallow didn't look as good as I had heard. Maybe I just didn't look closely enough, but it looked a little run down. But hey, they did have "100% refrigerated air"!
*Midpoint Cafe, Adrian, TX was awesome. Great people, great pie, cutest darn place I ever did see (ha). Definitely worth the stop.
Today we're in Oklahoma and the weather forecast says rain and thunderstorms so... its a good time to hit the museums. States remaining in our grand tour of Route 66: Oklahoma (we're on the very West side), Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois. I still think we'll cut of Illinois but we'll see how things go and what day we get through Missouri.
Have a good day.
