Destination: oklahoma!

Made it to southeast oklahoma last night. Long drive, 636 miles from Albuquerque, NM but I made it!

I followed part of the route 66. Sadly, the historical area is run down, and there's a lot of ghost towns. Planning on checking some of them out on the way back.

There's not a lot to see out along hwy 40. Many a small town, but most of them are empty other than a few homes and gas stations. Found quite a few abandoned gas stations along the way, so don't always believe the signs saying "gas ahead."

Speaking of fueling up, if you're on a long distance road trip, it's always a good idea to keep a full fuel tank. You never know when you'll see another gas station, especially along old highways like 40. Personally, my rule is to always fill up at half a tank. That way you're pretty safe and sure to not end up stuck on the side of the road with an empty tank!
