We are closing in on OKC. Currently passing through Arcadia, OK.

Hanging out at the Rock Cafe and gift shop. Stroud is definitely one
of the top Route 66 towns visited so far. Plus, my mom grew up here
and the shop keeper remembered my grandfather’s old IGA store.

Notre Dame’s "Touchdown Jesus" finishing his Oklahoma cheer by making
the U.

Showing the way across the Rainbow Bridge to see Niagara Falls from
the Canadian side.

On the road again…Buffalo here we come!

A slow start. We were packing until 8 am and needed a nap before putting Beantown in the rearview. Definitely imagined a better exit…

138,333: a measure of my Explorer’s experience with the road. I am just hoping for 3,000 more without incident. http://twitpic.com/cgrdy

Leaving town in a car crammed with junk is far removed from the romance of stepping onto a train and giving a final farewell.
