This started as a trip toward the eastern side of Oklahoma (for the Guzzi event), but ended being a trip to the other side. No matter.

Crossing the Salt Fork River on OK-132, north of Nash.

There a several museums devoted to Route 66, but I think the best one is in Clinton, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, I was there much too late Saturday night, and didn't want to stay around until it opened on Sunday.

the back roads to Butler, Oklahoma. Some paved; some not.

The Cal2 that gets me there (and most everywhere else)

There's not a great deal in Butler, but there is at least a cafe (easily missed), and so I had breakfast there.

Washita Battlefield National Historic Site is the location of one of the more important Plains Indian battles. Actually, by any conventional definition, it wasn't really much of a battle. Suffice to say, Lt. Col. Custer didn't leave much, afterwards.

Things are quiet in Glazier, Texas...

You have to look twice to find the Cafe in Darrouzett. In this case, it's also the drug store.

US-160 in Comanche County, Kansas. Keep riding, and you'll be at Wolf Creek Pass.

Really nice shots Daniel. Thanks for sharing. Looks like I have another part of this beautiful country I've got to see by motorcycle:)
 
Nice pics... Some of those roads look cool to ride on.
I've got a 1000km ride coming up and didnt think photos of scenery across the world would be interesting - but after seeing your trip Ill have to take a camera now!
 
Sure enjoy all of your photo posts Daniel, but have to say... I'd rather enjoy most of those like above, from your eyes/lens. ;)

Keep'em coming.
 
I have been there many times ... OK (no pun intended!), but only by air. It has little charm from 33K, but sure looks compelling the way you portray it.

I love rural America. My heart is in the South, but what draws me here is simply habit (well, and possibly the twisties where I was today), but I can see the same sort of beauty wherever you let us see through your lens.

Thanks ... again.

Bill
