Day 11 - Mon 19th Sept - Amarillo to Fort Smith
The Mother Road
Day 2 of getting across the emptiness of middle America. This could be a boring freeway day, or it could be a day of stopping off to see some cool Route 66 stuff. Once again it is each rider’s choice. I have tried to find the middle ground of eating up the miles to get back to good riding, and experiencing some of Route 66. It might be that we find the better places to stop and look and burn up the miles for the rest. The plan was to go to the R66 Museum in Elk City but it is closed on a Monday.Hotel and Weather

Through Oklahoma on Route 66
Time to burn up those miles as the Ozarks are calling us closer. We finish the day having crossed Oklahoma from West to East, it is a vast State but quite empty. Not great riding but somewhere to ride through. So hopefully the weather is with us as they seem to get some extremes with tornadoes and hot days with cold nights. Either way this is the mid point and pretty much halfway across America. And we still have so much to see
