2014-11-13 Route 66 - Miami (not THAT one!) to Tulsa


It is once again time to move our home. We are currently in the NE corner of Oklahoma in Miami in the Miami Mobile Home Community. The site here was a very nice level pull through site with room in the front to park our truck.



We traveled through Chelsea on our way to Tulsa. Chelsea had two Sears Homes. These homes were offered in Sears Catalogs in the early 1900's. Over 100,000 of these homes were sold through 1937. We had previously seen many of them in the town of Carlinville, IL.




Outside of Foyil was this crazy totem pole park.




After dropping off our trailer at the Cherry Hill RV Park we headed back to Claremore to tour the Belvidere Mansion. It was build in 1907 and has been a single family home, a 14 room apartment complex, and is now owned by the Rogers County Historical Society. They have a Tea Room, Gift Shop, historical recreations of bedrooms, and special events area on the 3rd floor.






To say it was still cold outside would be an understatement. We don't see this often in Seattle.



The Blue Whale is a Route 66 icon and deservedly so. There isn't anything like it around. It was build as an anniversary gift in the 1970's and then became a swimming park. It finally officially closed in 1988 but you can still play on it, slide into the water, and jump off the tail section.




Entering Tulsa they had this really cool logo on the Road.



Off the Route and down at the Expo Square is this giant Tulsan.



And here we are parked near the entrance of this RV park.
