Day 17 (10/5)

Today was my first full day in Oklahoma. I made good progress in the morning and got my first glimpse of the Oklahoma countryside. As I was riding along near Afton, a classic car ('65 Chevy Nova) slowed down next to me. The passenger asked where I was going.  They were driving their classic car on a Route 66 tour all the way to Santa Monica. I asked where they were from - Michigan they said!  I told them I was too and we all laughed.  Traffic started coming up behind them and we said a quick goodbye. As they passed I saw the Michigan plate.  I lament not getting a photo, but it happened so quick.

The afternoon was headwinds and heavy traffic as I got closer to Tulsa.  It was an 84 mile day that ended in Catoosa.
































A Beautiful Morning in OK



Pryor Creek Bridge-1926. Route 66 has many of these old bridges.   They would make a great coffee table book!
