Visited 4/28/2022 azdave1 took it to "Best" Western Travel Bug Hotel Missouri - 118.08 miles  Visit Log

Visiting the Home of the "Best" Western Travel Bug Hotel!!

  • The Home of the "Best" Western Travel Bug Hotel!! John B. Stetson started the John B. Stetson Hat Company in 1865 with no more than $100 and a passion for hats. He rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and launched his dream. Soon after he started his humble company, the famous "Hat of the West" also known as "Boss of the Plains" was born. The rest of the Stetson Hat story is as we say "history." Stetson Hats became a trademark for quality, durability, innovation and beauty. Stetson Hats remain that way today!

Visiting the Giant Coca Cola Can!!

  • Visiting the Giant Coca Cola Can!! A farm silo decorated with a giant Coca-Cola Classic can label, although it is weathering. The Classic brand, which was hastily created in 1985 after the New Coke formula fiasco, was retired in 2009 after 25 years of marketing damage control. Who knows, this silo may become a historic landmark of sorts. There is a roundabout in front of the barn and silo, along with a driveway for an easy photo op.

Traveling through the Flint Hills!!

  • View of the Flint Hills to the East!! The Flint Hills, historically known as Bluestem Pastures or Blue Stem Hills, are a region in eastern Kansas and north-central Oklahoma named for the abundant residual flint eroded from the bedrock that lies near or at the surface. It consists of a band of hills stretching from Kansas to Oklahoma, extending from Marshall and Washington Counties in the north to Cowley County, Kansas and Kay and Osage Counties in Oklahoma in the south, to Geary and Shawnee Counties west to east.
  • View of the Flint Hills to the South!! Explorer Zebulon Pike first coined the name the Flint Hills in 1806 when he entered into his journal, "passed very ruff flint hills". The underlying bedrock of the hills is a flinty limestone. The largest town in the area is Manhattan, Kansas, and the hills can be accessed from the Flint Hills Scenic Byway, which passes through the region. Oklahomans generally refer to the same geologic formation as the Osage Hills or "the Osage."
  • View of the Flint Hills to the North!! The Flint Hills Ecoregion is designated as a distinct region because it has the densest coverage of intact tallgrass prairie in North America. Due to its rocky soil, the early settlers were unable to plow the area, resulting in the prevalence of cattle ranches as opposed to the crop land more typical of the Great Plains. These ranches rely on annual controlled burns conducted by ranchers every spring to renew the prairie grasses for cattle to graze.

  • The Petrified Wood at the Midgley Museum!! On display on the front lawn of the Midgley Museum (or the Rock House as the locals often call it) is this large specimen of petrified wood. Petrified wood is a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. From the Greek root petro meaning "rock" or "stone"; literally means "wood turned into stone".

Visited 4/27/2022 azdave1 took it to The Marrying Tree Oklahoma - 4 miles  Visit Log

Visiting the current Marrying Tree, the northern boundary of the "Unassigned Lands of Oklahoma Territory", and the southern boundary of the Cherokee Outlet, aka, the Cherokee Strip.

  • Visiting the current Marrying Tree!! This Tree is one of the most historical spots in Oklahoma. It is called the "Marrying Tree" because of all the weddings that have been held under its limbs. The tree is right on the county line between Garfield and Kingfisher Counties. In the past, a marriage license issued in one county was only good in that county. Couples not knowing this often got a license in the adjoining county, so they had to cross over to re-do their ceremony and the old tree made a good place to have it in the shade.
  • Visiting the nearby Run of '89 Historical Marker!! The Marrying Tree also marks the northern boundary of the "Unassigned Lands of Oklahoma Territory". On April 22, 1889, thousands lined up along this line to make the run South to claim homestead land in the Unassigned Lands.
  • Visiting the nearby Run to the Cherokee Strip!! The Marrying Tree also marks the southern boundary of the Cherokee Outlet, aka, the Cherokee Strip. The Cherokee Outlet was given to the Cherokees so they could travel from the lands given to them in Indian Territory to the Rocky Mountains to hunt. On September 23, 1893, thousands lined up on the line to make the run North into the Cherokee Strip.

Visiting the Elk City, Oklahoma: National Route 66 Museum!!

The Museum focuses on the people who lived, worked and traveled the “Mother Road” and offers visitors a classic walk through all eight states, with realistic murals, vignettes depicting the eras of the road and the interesting places that made Route 66 so famous, and recorded histories and personal accounts of the road. Features outside include a huge Route 66 shield sign and a restored giant kachina statue from the old Queenan Trading Post, and a Popeye memorabilia collection inside.

  • Popeye @ the Elk City National Route 66 Museum!! Popeye the Sailor Man is a fictional cartoon character created by Elzie Crisler Segar. The character first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929, and Popeye became the strip's title in later years. Over the years, Popeye has also appeared in comic books, television cartoons, video games, and hundreds of advertisements.

Not sure how shelves of Popeye memorabilia fits in a Route 66 Museum, but it is sure cool!!
  • The huge Route 66 shield sign @ the Museum!!
  • Myrtle @ the Elk City National Route 66 Museum!! Myrtle, the 14-foot-tall kachina doll made of oil drums and scrap metal stood outside Queenan’s Trading Post on Route 66 at the west end of Elk City for decades. Through blistering heat waves and fierce storms, Myrtle maintained a silent vigil over the property until 1990 when, after renovation, she began a second career on the Mother Road at the National Route 66 Museum in Elk City.
