252 miles el Reno OK to Amarillo Tx (with a vehicle change and errands not bad )

This morning we woke up at the El Reno OK and began to execute our change of direction plan. We rented a car, moved everything over and stored the motorcycle and trailer. Today I’ll be posting as we go and playing catch up since I have a chauffeur…. shortly after noon we are back on the road!

She loves to drive!

First stop the filling station

On down the route to the wooden “giant” cutouts!

And the giant spaceman

A little bit about the old alignments ….

We stopped by to see Harley at the oddities shop, but he wasn’t there. We might try him again on the way back we were looking forward to seeing him!

Next was the u-drop inn in Shamrock TX first time out of 3 stops it was still open!

McLean Texas

Lots of ruins

The cactus inn

The leaning tower 75 foot tall
