I start seeing signs for historical Route 66 while finishing up our drive through Oklahoma. I tell Donny it would be a shame to not drive on a part of it anyway. The next town we approach is Clinton which boasts a Route 66 Museum. We get off and find ourselves on a part of the actual route. We are excited. The museum proves to be a good break in our marathon west. It is a great place and, as we find out, the only one worth seeing on the entire trail, which runs from Chicago to California. Our hostess has been a volunteer in the museum since it opened in 1995. She suggests the best book to buy and also the most informative DVD. All the proceeds from the modest admission price and gift shop sales go toward maintaining the museum.
Back on I40 we discover that it overlaps the original Route 66 and so we are still on the vintage trail. We are on day two of our trek west. My goal is Arizona by nightfall.Sat, Oct. 13th, 2007
