Weatherford - Big Boot
Friday, 6 July 2018
So we stopped at the gas station as Mike wanted to get some drink from the ASAP General Store. I can't resist taking picture of this big boot in the front of the station. They have a section in the Store selling the famous Ricks' boots and outfitters.

Yukon - Express Clydesdales
Friday, 6 July 2018
The visitor center was closed for maintenance, until further notice! Having driven many miles there, it was quite disappointing. However, the drive through the country sides was pleasant nice. I checked back the website. Nothing mentioned about the closure.

Oklahoma - Highway 66 - Oklahoma County Auto and Mini Museum
Saturday, 30 June 2018
Our GPS couldn't read the address to the Oklahoma Country Auto and Mini Museum. I had printed out the direction on google map and we drove past it. It was only about 2 miles from the Old Round Barn, but we drove twice the distance. On turning back, we came across an old ruined Route 66 gas station, that I learnt later as the Conoco station.
We met the owner, Mr. John Hargrove, of the Oklahoma County Auto and Mini Museum. He was a very nice and friendly man. I was impressed by his creativity and display of the vintage collections, related to Route 66, both inside and outside his visitors' building. I enjoyed the collections. He is not charging any fees for visiting and I wonder how he would be able to maintain the place and the collections. I forgot to ask him when he started his museum. Thank you, Mr. Hargrove for sharing with us your collections.

Oklahoma - Highway 66 - The Old Round Barn
Saturday, 30 June 2018
This is a interesting historical place to visit. The lower floor is the souvenirs shop while the upper floor is for functions, like dance, weddings, etc.

Oklahoma - 99s Museum of Women Pilots
Saturday, 30 June 2018
This is a special museum, featuring only women pilots :-)
Mike & I were amused with a remark, made by a 11 (if I read correctly) year old son of a woman jet pilot. He was asked if he would also fly a jet when he is older. He answered that it is a woman's job!
I am proud of all the 1st woman pilot in their country.
