Route 66 West of Tulsa
An abandoned stretch
This piece of the Mother Road can be found near Sapulpa, right off the current OK 66. It is fully driveable (at least it was last time I checked) and is, obviously, quite awesome. I shouldn't quite say abandoned, as people still live on it, but the road has definitely been bypassed. Thanks to Grandmother and Granddad for taking me on this little trip!
 This
fantastic old bridge has a brick roadway. It goes over a small creek
right next to the new OK 66. |

 The
road goes through rural areas, but they are more wooded than soybeaned. |
 The
railroad goes over Old 66. |
 Many
many trees. |

highway shield. |
