Oklahoma City To Amarillo – Route 66

Lucille's Historic Gas Station and Roadhouse

We visited Lucille’s Historic Gas Station and had lunch at the Roadhouse earlier in the week, and we stopped by for another photo op on our way out of town.

Along the way

We stopped at the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK – but they were closed on Sunday.

National Route 66 Museum, Elk City OK – also closed on Sunday

Tower Station and U-Drop Inn Café, Shamrock, TX. An Art Deco gem and Route 66 classic, now a visitor center. Featured in the movie Cars (as Ramone’s body shop).

Unfortunately they are also closed on Sunday

The Big Texan Steak Ranch (Amarillo, TX) – Home of the 72 oz steak challenge; a Route 66 institution. We had stopped there in 2023 on our visit to San Antonio – quite and experience.

Cadillac Ranch (Amarillo, TX) – Legendary public art installation with spray-painted Cadillacs buried nose-down. Spray pinting the cars has become a thing. They even have a stand that sells the paint.
