Mike inside the original garage.

This is Gary the owner. He gave all of us a Route 66 root beer and told us stories for 1 & 1/2 hours. Really enjoyed the stay and conversations. He retired as train robber from Knotts Berry Farm about five years ago and retired here buying the property from his brotherinlaw who owned it for 25 years. The original station store burned down in early 50s and never rebuilt. The oringinal auto garage building is still intact.

Our group shot. Gary retired from Knotts Berry Farm as a train robber and moved back here about five years ago. Bought this place from his brotherinlaw (who had owned it for 25 years). They built the replica of store which had burned down in early 1950s and never rebuilt. The garage was still intack.

Had to have one pic of me in front of garage.

Another garage restoration project to be completed in two years when the guy retires from Catterpillar.

Red Oak II. Owned by Lowell Davis (artist). He moved all the buildings from original location (about 15 miles away) and built family compound. Quite a history and story on some of the work he has done. Larry Lord can relate one interesting story.

When we pulled up to the Blue Whale there were around 30 motorcycles and 45 riders. Turns out they were from Spain & Brazil. They had rented MC and were traveling route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. It turned out they would be staying in same towns as our Prowler road gang. So, I'm sure there paths will cross along the route 66 west...

Blue Whale swimming hole along route 66 near tulsa. We stayed in Broken Arrow on Sunday night. On Monday morning I left the group and headed back to Louisiana. This was a FANTASTIC trip. Thanks to the Road Gang for letting me join in on the cruise of Route 66.
