Our second night was in Oklahoma City, but before we got there we saw signs for this little winery near Slaughterville, Oklahoma. They grow all their own grapes right here and the wine is excellent. We bought two bottles.

This was our second stop and it was a very good RV park. Free coffee and muffins for breakfast, and convenient to shopping. We stayed two nights.

The park also has an indoor pool and a whirlpool hot tub. We tried it Monday night. The hot tub was especially good after sitting in the car most of the day.

But "the best laid plans....". A check of the tires before we headed out showed one had a slow leak. Luckily there was a Goodyear Tire repair shop near the RV park. A quick stop there and a good repair job got us on our way in less than an hour.

But enough of the details. Let's look at some Route 66 icons. We'll start with a later alignment which bypassed the heart of the city but has most of the old motels, restaurants and gas stations. This is the Owl Courts Motel, now being restored by the owner. It seemed to be a do it yourself project and though there still is a lot of work to do it looked very good.

Two Route 66 era photo ops are the Will Rogers Theater on the left and this giant milk bottle on the right.

West of downtown Oklahoma City the road passes many great examples of old Roadside businesses. The Carlyle Motel has a great sign, although the motel looked a little seedy.

Farther west is Ann's Chicken Fry House, still serving up chicken and lots of Route 66 memorabilia.

Just west of Olkahoma City the old Route 66 crosses a small arm of Lake Overholser on this through truss bridge. It's still driveable, even with our travel trailer.

On the west shore of the lake is a recently opened Route 66 Park. While not on the original road it has a short trail with highlights of Route 66 painted into the concrete path. There also is an observation tower plus a small pond and trail that's good for bird watching in season. This wasn't the season.

Driving into Yukon you can't miss the Yukon Flour buildings and grain elevators. The sign on top at the left can be seen for miles at night. I've seen photos like this on many Route 66 web sites.

I've had quite a few rest areas on other web pages of our travels so this historic Route 66 rest area seemed perfect for this page. It's located just south of Geary, Oklahoma. While there weren't many amenities (no restrooms) we were pulling our travel trailer so that was not an inconvenience. We ate lunch and used the "facilities" in the trailer.
