Tulsa to Amarillo Texas (379 Miles)

After 3 days in Tulsa we were keen to hit the road again and head to Amarillo Texas. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tulsa meeting fellow Wing riders. Their hospitality was fantastic and we were made to feel quite welcome. We did not win the international longest distance to get to the WingDing as Ken and Christine who came from Melbourne had a longer distance then from Brisbane.
The weather today was perfect for riding and we headed south from Tulsa to Oklahoma City then west to Amarillo.
The roads were very good and from time to time we found bits and pieces of the old Route 66 thanks to Jack who is riding with us to his home city of Albuquerque New Mexico. We found one road that was very old, probably from the 1940's which was very narrow but interesting.
When we checked in to the motel Charleen found some info on a texan steakhouse which is famous for its 72 ounce steaks and if you can eat one in less than 1 hours its yours free. Needless to say no one in our group took up the offer but the normal sized steaks were mouthwatering.

If you can eat this 72 ounce steak with all the trimmings
in one hour you can have it for free. Otherwise you pay
$70 for the meal.

Kerry could not move after the meal....
This is a piece of the original Route 66 from the 40's.

Another state ticked off the bucket list.
