                Day 6 Amarillo, TX to Oklahoma, TX
             Sunday September 25, 2011
Took pictures around the hotel in the am when so many people weren't around.
Do these remind you of a character in a movie?  And check out the giant behind them.



                                                        Lots of windmills in TX

                                           Bug Ranch

Remind you of the the flies in the movie "Cars"?

     Thinking about bugs look at all of them on our car and just on the lower part.

Giant cross in the middle of fields.

          Everything is big in Texas including the bales of hay.  Pic is a little fuzzy we were going fast.

Look they found a use for the old gas stations.  A justice of the peace office in the city of Groom.

High plains of Texas you have to dodge maore than tumble weeds.

Water towers are all over Texas.  This one was built leaning on purpose for advertising.

Rest stops are big in Texas too, but we only saw two.

                         This is the terrain around the interstate, but around 66 it looks

                                                 like this.

McLean TX turned out to be fun.  It felt like the town in the movie "Cars".  The street was brick and






                                           the flashing light.

            These are balls of barbed wire.  This Route 66 attraction was closed.


                                          Shamrock, TX





Erick, OK the redneck capitol of the world.  Harley and Annebell were not to be seen.





                This is a very clean dressed up Miata.  Saw at Elk City, OK museum parking lot

At mini pony bridge on display at the museum.  The museum was closed.   Hint don't travel on Sunday, Monday if you want to go into some museums.


a real pony bridge.


oops big rigg going west on I-40 had a problem.  We are on original portland cement road.  Yes a lot of 66 is now frontage road.






                                Clinton, OK Museum.  This one was open.

                                          All the state road signs.

                                     Just trying a different car.  Think we'll keep the one we have.

The road compare to the interstate.  66 follows the ground the curves dipps and bumps while the other leveled wide and flat.  Not as relaxing the interstate is a get to place and 66 is a visit along the way.

                                          Heard it was opperational up until 1999.




This bridge is very impressive.  38 ponies and think they were all made in the 1930's.

the dirt is red



This is suppose to be a lake outside of Yukon, OK.  There is a drought.

                                          Oklahoma City, OK 

                                    Found that Oklahoma doesnn't have much of the old 66 left.
