Memphis, Tennessee to Okmulgee, Oklahoma

July 23

Arkansas is really, really flat, quite pretty but there's not a whole lot there J. We passed a few "Jesus Saves" and "God will shame you if you shame God" signs. Then we saw a sign for an Outlook – so we thought we should stop & take a look – see pic below – like I said, not a whole lot to see but sort of pretty.

We drove straight through Arkansas and into Oklahoma – our plan to get to Tulsa by night in order to start on Route 66 in the morning. We've stopped in the town of Okmulgee, which is about 30 miles south of Tulsa. According to the guide Okmulgee looks like a quaint town from the 50's. As it was dark when we arrived, it's kind of hard to tell but the motel we are staying in is definitely a throwback to the 50's. And there's even a railroad running close outside and we can hear the trains whistling as they roll by – very retro!
