Route 66 - Day 10, the end of the line
We decided to extend our vacation just one more day and travel Route 66 from Wellston west to Bethany. We hopped on the turnpike and exited at Wellston. The first thing we discovered, thanks to our book, was a concrete totem pole at the BBQ joint right before you take 66B into downtown Wellston.
We continued on through Wellston and past Luther. Just north of Luther there are several large concrete leggings of the old 66 when they had a very high bridge over the river. Just west of that is a private section of road that is the original 66.
We kept on west through Arcadia and stopped at the Round Barn. The upstairs was rented out and therefore closed, so we will have to make another stop so that Lovely Wife can see it.
Through Edmond and then down Kelly into OKC. Heading west on Britton we came upon the Owl Court that is slowly being restored...
and then over to Western, down to 23rd, past the Gold Dome
and then over to May and up to 39th. We stopped in at Ann's Chicken Fry and looked around and stopped at Jack's BBQ for a small sample.
We continued on 39th, through Bethany until we came back to Lake Overholser. Tired, we swung home and tried to rest up for the coming week.
Coming up: Restaurant reviews, Motel reviews, links to photos for each day on Flickr, and a double butt load of neon. Can ya handle it?
