I used to work as a Railroad contractor and we stopped at Sid's in El Reno, OK to load up on the onion burgers. They cooked the onion right along with the patty. They were real tasty with all that beef fat and onion, oh my God was it good. Another memory of El Reno, OK was going to an air show off off MacAurthor in OKC next to a air force base. Patty Wagstaff was the champion pilot at the time and she performed with the same plane that she competed with. I am guess it must have been 1992-1994. Anyway, she was staying at the same Best Western in El Reno that we stayed at. I thought that was great as I was a huge fan of Patty Wagstaff. Not only the best aerobatic pilot, she was very attractive as well. What a treat that was to see her at the motel and the airshow.

Another great video! I did Route 66 with my Dad in two segments. The first from Rancho Cucamonga to Tulsa in 1994 and then 2001 from OKC to Chicago with my Dad, Mom and Son. Oklahoma may be my favorite Route 66 state too. It s fascinating to see how many things have changed since then. Many originals (people and places) are gone. Most of the museums you feature are new since then. I have gone back and done several Route 66 segments in OK again more recently and plan to do the entire route again in my RV in 66 days the other direction from Chicago to Santa Monica.
I am envious in that I wanted to collaborate on a magazine article on our journey. This was well before easy video was possible. How many days did your drive take?

My grandparents owned a farm and cafe/gas station/grocery in Warwick across the road from Seaba Station (shown in the video. My grandfather worked at Seaba Station at one time. Their tiny cafe seated 8 at a big L-shaped counter. Customers drove 8 miles out from Chandler to eat with Pete lining up several deep at lunch time to eat her blue-plate specials and her homemade pies and cobblers. When my mom was a child during WWII, ages 6- 10, she marched back and forth in front of the mailbox right there waving at all the troops driving by singing all the military songs like Anchors Away, From the Halls of Montezuma, and so many more. Route 66 has always been and always will be a huge part of my life.

if you go back down route 66 going through Vinita, inside of that McDonald's is a little route 66 store. there's also a cafe called Clanton's there in Vinita. Guy Fieri visited there in one of his episodes of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. he said they have the best country fried steak. and he wasn't kidding. it's the best country fried steak I've ever had. I will definitely be following your route 66 visits.

Nice video. It shows what a truly wonderful amazing place Oklahoma is. Oklahoma really has a lot to offer. In Oklahoma City a person could be there 1 month and not see everything. I am planning my vacation there this year after watching this video. Oklahoma has just about everything a person could want.

Love following the journey. Got a laugh out of the soda challenge. Worth watching just to see the amazing round barn. Thanks for letting us tag along. Drove 66 way back in the 50s when my family would travel from Kentucky to California to visit relatives. Lots of great memories and a few old videos.

Great videos! I've noticed many locations were closed when you got to them. Was it after hours, or are they closed, closed?
Really enjoy your narration, nice to be able to watch with my grandkids and not worry about what will be said, or how. Thanks!

1: 40 Elk City. By the time he was 21 hall of fame song writer Jim Webb had written By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Wichita Lineman, and Galveston. He went on to write other famous songs. He was born right there in Elk City.

Really enjoyed this video. What books and/or websites did you use to plan your trip? I'd like to see if there are other sites in the towns you visited that our family might like to see when we visit this summer. Thanks!

Hi Josh, I'm really enjoying watching your route 66 videos as we were recently at a few of the places you highlighted. The opportunity to travel with your Dad is priceless. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Lucy
