Touring the Country

So today we woke up, packed up our tent and started out for the road once again. We said farewell to Missouri and entered the tiny corner of Kansas that 66 bites into. We visited Galena and took some pictures for the tow truck that inspired Mater in Cars. We also took a ridiculously small detour to see a beautiful bridge.

We waved to Kansas as we finished your short stint in the state.Oklahoma had several interesting things to offer the 66er. Brianne took her picture by the Chelsea Motel. Then we hopped over to Catoosa and saw the big blue whale there. We took our lunch in Tulsa. Brianne found an awesome BBQ place, Wilson's BBQ. The BBQ was awesome. We checked out the shoe tree but only found some newer imitations that just weren't as impressive.

POPS! Suck it soda people.





We continued on to the Rock Cafe the owner of which was the inspiration of Sally in Cars. We traveled on and tried to visit the gallery of the artist that created the guide book we used but it was closed. We pulled into Arcadia to visit Pops. They have hundreds of different soda and you can create a float out of any of them. I had a cream soda float ad my sister had a cherry soda float.

Our last part of the journey today took us over a large pony (trusses) bridge and the most beautiful stretch of 66 I have experience yet. It curved and rose beautifully with the landscape. Even with the draught parched land on both sides it was beautiful.
