I only realised mid morning after leaving Oklahoma city on the i40 that I was on the old Main Street of America - Route 66. I stopped off at the National Route 66 museum in Elk City, Oklahoma. It was excellent! It set the atmosphere for the road - the scenery had started to change dramatically from the night before, becoming more desert-like. It really felt like I was now heading west. I remained on Route 66 right through the Texas pan handle (where I saw road runners). The whole way was a great western stretch of road, sprinkled occasionally by some classic Americana kitch and some classic tunes on the radio. I loved it!
