Day Five: Destination Oklahoma City

Day five started rainy and cold, but no snow! Yay! We were concerned about the storms that were going through Oklahoma that day, but we had already been driving with them and they passed us by! Another fantastic, out of the way museum was found in Elk City, Oklahoma. It is the Route 66 Museum. We "drove" down Route 66 in a pink Cadillac, watched the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" at a drive in from the back seat of an Impala, Leif relived a childhood dream and slid down a brass fire pole! and had a great time wandering through the museum and the replicated old town. We met the local blacksmith and he regaled us with tornado stories and showed us a fun place to eat lunch. Enjoy a few of the pictures we took.

Day Four: Destination Amarillo, TX

Today was a looong drive East on I40. We spent the day in a rain and wind storm. We did stop at a wonderful car museum, Russell's Truck Stop about 70 miles West of Amarillo. Some of the pictures are from the museumWe will try to make it to Oklahoma City tomorrow!

Day Three: The Most Adventurous Yet!

Day three started out beautiful! We were excited to be on the road in sunshine for once! Unfortunately, the storm that we had during the night was going through Flagstaff which was the direction we were going. I40 was closed just East of Kingman, AZ. We decided to go South of the storm and that's where the adventure began! We drove South on 93 and our map told us to turn left at the bottom of a big hill! We turned left on I96 aka Bagdad Rd. We were immediately on a two-lane road that was like a roller coaster! We found a wide spot to "discuss" what the map was telling us and decided to take some pictures. After much discussion we decided to take a chance on I96 and what a BEAUTIFUL drive! We all had the most fantastic time driving on the road. If any of you have seen the movie "Cars" the road was just like the winding one in the movie. We finally got to Prescott, AZ and laughed our way through lunch and decided to finish our journey to Gallup, NM, with a stop in Winslow, AZ. Of course, we caught back up to the storm just East of Holbrook, AZ but made it safely to our destination. Cheryl is now the official "NAG-ivator". LOL! Enjoy the pictures! We also have some on the North Olympic Mustangs Facebook page.
