Made it to Texas today! We are now roughly 1100 miles into our trip.
This morning started slowly - we overslept! Once we'd got going we left Oklahoma City and travelled through El Reno, Bridgeport and Weatherford on the old road. We stopped at Clinton at a Route 66 museum which was amazing. The weather was amazing again today so we had the roof down most of the day.
We continued through Canute to Elk City where we stopped at another (much larger!) Route 66 museum. Lots of cars and tractors at this one. Once we'd finished looking around at this museum we carried on through Sayer and Erick. Next stop was Shamrock where we stopped at the Conoco gas station and cafe which has been completely restored by the locals. It looks absolutely amazing. This fuel station is what inspired Ramone's Paint Shop for the film Cars.
We continued through McLean, Alanreed, Groom and Conway. Conway consists of about 3 houses!
After Conway we made our way into Amarillo to find our stop for the night. Via Burger King.
