Our first stop this morning was Fort Reno, a fort that began as an army camp during the Indian Wars Era. Not a lot of building are left, but what is left (like the officer's quarters and the chapel, below) are beautiful.
Our next stop was Lucille's Roadhouse, in Hydro, Oklahoma. Owned by Lucille Hammons and her husband, they served travelers along Route 66 during its heydey. Lucille herself pumped gas for many years.
Our next stop was the newer, larger replica Lucille's Roadhouse, just down the road in Weatherford, Oklahoma. Lunch was classic diner fare, and was great!
Next, we stopped at the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum. They had some fantastic exhibits about the history of Route 66, along with some great memorabilia.
We came out to some beautiful retro cars in the parking lot and I couldn't resist taking a few shots.
The owners of these beauties had already driven Rt 66 all the way west, and were heading back east to Pennsylvania.
We swung by the Cotton Boll Motel, a Route 66 icon. It's now a private home, but they've kept the sign.
Next, we headed into our next pitstop, Elk City, Oklahoma.
Tomorrow, we head into Texas! We'll be stopping in Amarillo before heading into New Mexico on Wednesday.
Stay tuned!!
