The drive today was from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. It was a 110 mile journey through many rural farming towns where we saw lots of bathing cows.

Tulsa was a booming oil town in the 1920s and there are many grand art deco buildings in Downtown. This giant oil driller standing next to a derrick is there to commemorate these golden days for the city.

Just outside of Tulsa this old steam train and derrick have been placed on the roadside of Route 66.  

We drove over this brick paved rusting iron bridge (1925) with some trepidation. We stopped at the other side and walked back across it and I nearly fell in the water below when I leant on the rusted railing, which moved under my weight (too many burgers). This is definitely one of Route 66's endangered sections as it was very rusty.

20 metres along the road from the old bridge was this abandoned drive-in movie theatre. It was sad to see it in this state when only a few days before we had been to a fully restored one in Carthage.

After seeing the two sad decaying Route 66 relics above we were pleased to see that some money had been invested in developing a new roadside attraction. It was called Pops and it was a gas station, restaurant and shop all based around soda pop. This is a giant soda pop sculpture outside, which glows in different colours at night time.

The store is filled with every variety and flavour of soda from the USA and all around the world. We bought seven flavours to try including: strawberry, cherry, lime, melon. This place was really busy with local kids all begging their parents to buy them different flavoured sodas.
