Crossing into Oklahoma marks the end of ‘high desert’ and the half way point of any southern cross country trek. I found my way to another Route 66 Diner. Just like the one in Gallup, the food was plentiful and tasty. Owned and operated by veterans, it was packed with locals all talking to each other. There was not one person (including children) on their phones or watching Paw Patrol on an ipad. A community together and talking. YES! Not surprisingly, no one was comfortable going on video or tape but they were happy to be heard. I am grateful.
