Written Directions

This is Route 66 between beginning with Stroud, OK and Arcadia, OK. There is a lot of places to check out and it is a great road. Just finished it today and had a great time, (other than it was a bit chilly and wet, off and on). Take your time and don't be afraid to turn around to check something out that you missed. Enjoy.

Scenery

This is a small portion of Route 66 and it's beautiful. Some curves and lots to look at, but you will probably have to backtrack for some photo ops, markings leave a lot to be desired and the speed limit is so high.

Road Quality

Road changes between counties, but mostly great. Lots of trees and curves. Just to the west of Arcadia is the Arcadia Lake and Park.

Roadside Amenities

Lots of little towns and small shops and stations. Chandler has a Route 66 museum that is really a must see, great place. Pops is in Arcadia as well as Bikers Shak and the Round Barn. Lots of great places to stop and find things you can't live without.

Comment: Nothing like cruising 66, especially in this area. Beautiful all the way from OKC to Stroud. Very good eats at the Rock Cafe in Stroud and great murals in Davenport if you're into that sort of thing. Main Street in Chandler was a beautiful example of a small town Main Street. Not too much traffic on 66 but plenty of hills and scenery to make the ride a much better alternative to boring Turner Turnpike.

Comment: RT 66 is a great ride, besides the road, the attractions are nice. Lake Arcadia, Pop's, the round barn are nice places. As far as eats go, the Rock Cafe in Stroud is a great place for a meal, including German crusine and Pop's has great burgers and a large selection of pop.

Comment: Yep its agreat ride and great places to see and visit with the folks. The gentleman at the round barn will tell you some things that are about the barn and the movies made about RT 66. It as good or better then the rest of RT 66. You need to follow RT 66 at least once. Later see ya on RT 66.
