There are some interesting places along Rt 66 between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The rock cafe is where the writers for the movies Cars saw the inspiration for Sally Carrera in the owner. It is in Stroud, OK. Try to get there at an off peak time, it is always busy.

There is a motorcycle museum, the Acadia round barn, Pops just down the road from there. Rt 66 is just a few miles from my house. Locally it winds around OKC in a crazy pattern. Part of it is called Kelly Ave goes right past the local Porsche dealership. Part of Kelly is old enough that the cobblestones show through the worn asphalt. The tires of both of my cars have touched the cobblestones of the original Rt66.

Out west of Oklahoma City are several small cities, and a museum. One section of road is left very original going into Calumet, OK. It is two lanes wide, and it would be terrifying to come over a hill and see a 18 wheeler coming the other way. The road is narrow. Heck, two modern SUVs. or the overgrown pickups that are popular now. The road has curbs, and no shoulder, so there is really nowhere to go. The good news is it is very little used. I-40 is in view just to the south of it.

If you get to town around a meal time I know several great restaurants and I would love to meet up with you. I met Vinnie at a local pub-brewery right on Rt-66. He said he liked the place. If you ate at all the great restaurants along 66 you will never get to finish your trip in under a month.

One of my friends runs a wonderful VFW museum right on Rt66. We can have him open the place and you can spend hours looking at the artifacts of many veterans from every war, and talk to a volunteer.
