In our drive across Oklahoma from Duncan to Pawhuska, we only had time for one little smidgen of the Mother Road; the famous Route 66 that runs across the United States from Chicago to Los Angeles.
We hopped off of the Interstate between Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
It was late in the afternoon, so many places were closed, but it was still a lot of fun to see the original motels and vintage gas stations, and drive a nice, curvy, pretty road instead of the ugly freeway.
Check out this Legends of America Web site for detailed info on each part of Route 66, and drive a bit of it if you ever have an opportunity.

We drove Historic US 66 from just west of Springfield, MO, to near Carthage, MO, this afternoon. It is called Hwy 96, now - but the old signs, on old stations, are still there. In Carthage, there is an ancient overpass bridge over the railroad, where the curbs on the early highway, can still be seen. Brings back many memories!
Hi Folks,
I came across your blog while surfing on Google. Really impressive and creative territory of yours. I am also a travel freak and loves unveiling hidden territories.

Am wondering if we can link exchange? This would allow us to visit each-other’s space with just click of a mouse.
Do let me know if you are interested, so that i can do the needful.
