Days 23, 24 to Weatherford, OK

Day 23 was spent catching up on chores like updating this blog, but finished with a grand visit at the "Cattlemen's" with a friend from my working days, Cindy of OKC.  I was having so much fun swapping yarns with Cindy, I forgot to get a photo.

Lots on "Flight" today, Day 24 following the Historic Route 66 from OKC to Weatherford, OK.  57 miles, so above my average of 40 Rt 66 miles per day.

Due west of OKC is Yukon, OK

This mural is at the base of the Flour Mill.

A classic downtown, El Reno, OK even has
an active trolley tour in town! I didn't get a pic
of the trolley car, only the tracks. But the theater
and buildings are pretty cool, right?!!? 🙂.

El Reno, OK had this older mural
depicting several historic events.

Just west of El Reno is this massive
image of the OK state bird, 
the scissor tailed flycatcher.

The mural is on the back of this now-unused screen for a 
drive-in movie theater.
