Tuesday, 8 April 2008 8:11 P GMT-06
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 rig

For the last stretch of our trip home (Tucumcari, NM to OKC, OK) we decided to be sure to hit the parts that we had missed on the way out (except for Amarillo which we will pick up on a later trip). Of course, if you're traveling through the Texa

Sunday, 30 March 2008 8:53 A GMT-06
If anyone in Oklahoma ever complains about the wind again, unless said wind is rotating, I think I'll punch them in the throat. I don't remember the last time I encountered winds as strong as what hit us in Two Guns Arizona, but I'm getti
