The first Route 66 Stop for us today was the Big Blue Whale in Catoosa. I couldn’t wait to see it! We took tons of pictures, of course.

We drove through Tulsa and took some pictures of the buildings that were there.

Sapula had a cool 1921 bridge and a drive-in movie theater.

We also stopped at Rivett’s Route 66 Caf�. Parked in front was an old car that they called a rolling museum. I’ve never seen a car with so much crap attached to it.

The town of Depew was probably the closest thing to a ghost town that we’ve seen.

In Stroud, we stopped at the Rock Caf� and had buffalo burgers for lunch. We found an old gas station (1920’s) in ruins.

Not on Route 66.
We got to our motel room early (in Oklahoma City) and spent some time at the pool. We went out for dinner at the Iguana Caf�. It was a cute restaurant and one of the walls was painted with large iguanas on it. We went to a Border’s bookstore and looked around until nightfall.

We then set out to look for neon signs. We found a few good signs too! Looking forward to seeing Oklahoma City tomorrow.
