On the road at 8 AM on a beautiful, lovely, and sun-drenched morning. Scenery still very Midwestern with cattle and lush green pastures. This changed the closer we got to Oklahoma City. The hills got bigger with less trees and and roadsides took on a scruffy appearance. Camped in Foss, OK at a lovely KOA literally on Rte 66.
The next day, we drove to Elk City, OK to take in the national Rte 66 Museum. Well worth the stop! Many interesting exhibits, vehicles and history. The scariest was this machine for getting a permanent! Looks like in those days a permanent simply getting your hair fried into curls!
The other shock was the impossibly small waists on the clothing on display. The picture doesn't really do it justice.
I have to mention Country Doves Tea House. Lunch was wonderful and every entree and sandwich came with Jello! Who ever heard of that on a menu? We both had the daily special, cup of potatochowder, chicken and cheese enchilada with a heart shaped bran muffin and Jello. Jello was a delicious blend with lemon Jello and cream cheese. Delicious!
Don't think I mentioned this before, but the Honda drivers door decided to not open. In Elk City, had a friendly mechanic who agreed to look at it. He spent about an hour trying to fix it . . . No luck. He would take no money for his work! Looks like my lanky, long-legged hubby will be crawling over the console (and me exiting the car every time he wants to take a picture) until we get to CA and a Honda dealer to get a new lock.
