Get Your Kicks on Route 66

Day Five! Oklahoma City..

We slept a little later than we wanted, but it was ok, we planned on spending most of the day in OKC anyway. We rode across the street to a Wafflehouse (second time this trip I got Jeff to eat there) for breakfast, then a quick hop over to OKC Harley to hand off the HD flag Jeff has been dragging around with us for 1500 miles. We met Jeff's buddy from the Harley forum and made the hand off. Jeff had $55 burning a hole in his pocket so he bought a Harley T-shirt with it... ALL of it.. $55 for one T-shirt! Jesus!!!

After watching Jeff get raped by Harley, we headed over to my Moms to visit with her for a little while. She was in good spirits and we had a really nice visit. The Red Bud trees in OKC were blooming and Jeff was impressed and even took some pictures. We took a eye witness view of the weather and it looked like there was a big storm between us and Tulsa right along Route 66 where we want to go. So, we decided to go visit the National Western Heritage museum,used to be the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. I had been there several times but it had been about 20 years. Jeff is a big Western fanatic so he was in heaven.. It gave us plenty of time to for the storm to clear..The pics below are from statues inside the museum.

The Sun peeked out just long enough for us to get out and ride towards Tulsa. We headed NE up Historic Route 66. Most of the original concrete road is gone but there are a few spots you can still see the historic road. We past by the big red barn at Arcadia and through several small towns that time forgot. Ever since they put in I-44 along the same route as 66.. All those little towns have all but dried up. But it made for some very scenic riding and a couple good pics for Jeff. We had a great ride!

 Made it to my friends house in Bixby Oklahoma just at dusk.. Had a great day and stayed dry for the most part. Day 6 we'll be in Arkansas!!
