I'm still in Oklahoma, but only because I got sidetracked by a couple of things today.
The first was the Cherokee Trading Post west of OK City. They had a lot of nice stuff, but I'd be damned if I'd transport pottery 4000 miles. So, I got a Route 66 souvenire T-shirt instead.
After I left the trading post, I stopped off at a casino down the road. I figured that I might as well try my luck before I left the state. Right? Right! And, ladies and gentlemen, I was on a roll! At one point, I was up almost $200 bucks. I should have stopped there, but I didn't. I think you can figure out the rest. Ah well. Que sera, sera.
Stopped off in Elk City as well, to visit the Route 66 Museum, but it was closed. So, that was a waste of time. Also, I have determined that if a community is advertising 'unique downtown' or 'Route 66 artefacts' and you can't see them from the highway, it's pretty much a scam.
So, I'm almost at the halfway point for this leg of the trip. I think I'll hit it somewhere in Texas.
Interesting side note: the hotel I'm in not only has a Gideon Bible in the nightstand, but a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, as well. I'm wondering how many people they've managed to convert? :)
Woohoo! Only 1428 miles to go!
