I woke up to rain this morning.....not what I wanted for a 12 of 12. After a 1:00 p.m. basketball game for my 9 year old granddaughter, Grace, the day brightened just in time for me to start my trip back to Broken Arrow from Oklahoma City along another section of Route 66. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Land run (sometimes "land rush" ) usually refers to an historical event in which previously-restricted land of the United States was opened for homesteading on a first arrival basis. Some newly opened lands were sold first-come, sold by bid, or won by lottery, or by means other than a run. The settlers, no matter how they acquired occupancy, purchased the land from the United States Land Office. For former Indian lands, the Land Office distributed the funds to the various tribal entities according to previously negotiated terms. The Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 was the most prominent of the land runs.

Great '12, really like the 2nd roundbarn but all are cool.
Great 12 of 12 as usual. i have to say my favourite is the giant soda bottle. It's just brilliant in both what it is and in your photo. I also love the last photo of the bench seats, just something about it's simplicity. Anyway, thanks as always for sharing and I look forward as always to next months photos.
I never know Oklahoma had such cool stuff... round barns and giant pop bottles.
As always, thanks for your wonderful photos.
Hi Sunny, you always see such amazing things on your travels I never know what's coming up each month. I especially love the huge pop bottle!!
Hi Sunny, you always find such amazing things to photograph on your travels each month I never know what's going to appear next :)
Great photos as ever this month, especially that giant pop bottle!
I can't drive, but I'm wishing I could have that fire truck ;-) And I've never seen round barns like that, so thanks for sharing those! Great little roadtrip home :-)
(sorry my comment is late!)
What nice photos! The giant pop bottle looks like something out of WDW. The rest and just very nice and relaxing looking. Thanks and sorry I was so late.
