The Mother Road

We left Olathe and the storms behind.Today's highlights were the
... boyhood home of Walter Johnson
...Will Rogers Memorial - FANTASTIC bronzes & amazing saddle collection
...Route 66 Museum
and
...fine dining at Braum's in Elk City http://www.braums.com/
This was a real treat - with the best milkshake I have had in years. Even their water tasted good! The sweetness was toned down a bit by the abundance of flies in the place, yet this is really where the locals eat. A family which included grandpa in his tidy, well-worn, RR stripped coveralls departed gave that glimpse of another world that James and I do not often see.
On to new time zones and adventures!

  1. Debbie,

    Sounds like Oklahoma is the place to be...ice cream, baseball, cars, and overalls! I am sure you have run across many new friends along the trail! So many things to see and do in the USA
