Oklahoma City OK to Albuquerque NM – 554 miles

Team 70s past 3 days have had incredible weather. The days start overcast with low clouds. By 11AM the sun burns through to blue skies with high white clouds.

Each day has become warmer. Today in Albuquerque at 5PM it was 90°F.

Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, Clinton, OK. This was a wonderful museum that details the various periods Route 66 has undergone from concept, construction, depression, war, post war to the interstate highway growth to finally the abandonment of Route 66.

Midpoint Cafe, Adrian TX. Claimed to be at the halfway point between Chicago and California! The Historic Route 66 Highway had a huge white line with a sign claiming it was 1,139 miles west to California AND 1,139 miles East to Chicago!! The Midway Cafe was closed today!

    Yes, thanks for the pics again. You were on a dirt road by the Leaning Tower?! 😬

      The exit road at the Leaning Tower of Texas had a large dirt apron where we parked to take photos. The road was paved.

    Did you have lunch at Joseph’s Bar and Grill on your way through Santa Rosa to visit The Blue Hole?

    • Dean Tanji says:

      No, we didn’t stop at Joseph’s Bar & Grill. We didn’t stop for meals until end-of-day. Snacked all day small bites.
