So today we left Tulsa and finally joined up with famous Route 66, the Mother Road, the Free Road, America's Main Street, whatever you want to call it. Having been on big interstates so far, it's nice to finally have some scenic two-lane roads.

But before we left Tulsa, we drove by Oral Roberts University, home of the world's largest praying hands (probably).


After a bunch of scenic driving, we ended up in Amarillo, Texas, home of Big Texan Steak Ranch and Motel, where we ate and are staying this very moment.
