Oklahoma City, Ok to Afton, Ok - Sept 11 - Day 11

The stretch between Oklahmoa City and Afton proved to have many interesting sites.  We had lunch at the Rock Cafe in Stroud.  The owner of this restaurant was the inspiration for Sally in the movie Cars.  We were also able to stop by and find the author, Jerry McClanahan, of our amazing guide book, EZ66 Guide, restoring a sign in his hometown of Chandler.  This book is trully a must for traveling Route 66.
