Springfield, MS – Kansas – Tulsa, OK – Elk City, OK
We are passing on to an area where everything is about weather & tornadoes. You can even book a „tornado adventure tour“… Alternatively you could just watch the film twister, a much safer option.
Joplin – a town, famous for 2 things: Bonnie & Clyde were hiding here in 1930 and sadly the south of the town was destroyed in 2011 by a tornado with wind speed of 402km/hrs. Wow!
Finding the way along Route66 has become more difficult. It feels a bit like rallying. But hey, no problem, team Deutschland Rally is on. We keep finding the route signs.
19km on Route66 through Kansas! Yeah! Another state checked. Lol.
Bye Kansas, hello Oklahoma!
Mexican lunch in Oklahoma: Molcajete in Miami.
The Turleys are everywhere! Even in Oklahoma.
Time for more nostalgia: watching „Top Gun“ in one of the few left old Autokinos from 1951. We also found zebra popcorn ♥️
Oklahoma is flat & wide, green & wet and the more west you go the less villages you find. Its nickname: the dust bowl!
It’s raining. A very good opportunity for shopping: first outlet since arrival (I cannot believe that we bought nothing…). Instead we had lunch. Still our favorite and the very best burger. It tasted as delicious as we remember.
We are leaving the mid west of the USA & rolling into Texas. Wohoo. Cowboys, here we come!
