Default Historic Route 66 Pics (OKC Area)

One advantage of living about 2 miles south of historic Route 66 is you can get some interesting photo backdrops. It was a beautiful day, so why not take a few pics to share. Here are a few and here's a link to my album for a few more (with captions describing location) that I will add more to as we venture out further.

We are going to drive up to Chicago and get the beginning of Route 66 and travel it all the way to Santa Monica Pier in California next year.
