Wednesday, February 7^th, We pulled out of Amarillo at 9:15 am. There was a cold wind that made the 34 degrees feel much colder. Our goal for the day was to make it to Oklahoma City. We stopped in McLean, TX , a small town on old Route 66, to see a museum and find a Texas Route 66 pin. The town was a sad remnant of what once was, typical of many towns along old Route 66. The museum was not open and the only place we found open was a gas station. The people were very nice and directed us to a truck stop to the east where we could find the pin we wanted. We entered Oklahoma at about noon. The land is made up of gently rolling plains, much greener than Texas or NM. The red-orange soil is visible everywhere, making the landscape quite colorful. There are a lot of windmills scattered across the land, and an occasional oil pump. We took a detour up old Route 66 to the town of Cheyenne, to visit the Battle of Washita Battleground, the sight of a major engagement in the Plains Indian War which established the western expansion of the United States. The town of Cheyenne has a very nice city park, with displays of old time city buildings, a museum, a Civil War era canon, a Howitzer 105mm canon, and a buffalo statue. Fueled up in Sayre – $2.289/gal. One thing we noticed in this area was that everyone waves as you pass them on the road. We stayed the night at Catfish RV Park and Restaurant in eastern Oklahoma. Jan enjoyed his first taste of catfish. They served the BEST apple fritters! A girl brought hot, fresh, golfball-sized fritters dipped in powdered sugar. As my Poppie always said, “Best I ever tasted!”
