Historic Route 66 to Oklahoma!

Trip-466 miles

Log-4258 miles

Had a good travel day through Eastern New Mexico, Texas Panhandle and Central Oklahoma.

Traveled along the old Route 66 highway on Interstate 40.

Sad to see the deterioration of the old highway and the motels, diners and gas stations gone forever.

There are quite a few museums dedicated to their memory and we had a chance to visit one in Clinton, OK.

It was quite interesting and brought back some great memories of our trip in 1962 from Milwaukee to Pasadena to see the Wisconsin Badgers in the Rose Bowl game.

Stopped in Weatherford, OK where we spent the night in 1962.
