It was so hot and humid the even the cows were hangin’ in the shade.

Mooo! - Boy it's hot |
There were not many interesting sights on this leg, but I’ll tell what I can.
Not too far from Bethany is the town of Stroud, OK, where there is supposed to be a historic Phillips Gas Station – not there as far as I can tell. It’s now a modern gas station/convenience store. However, right across the street is the Rock Café.

The most notable restaurant in Stroud is the Rock Cafe, built from rocks removed during the construction of Route 66. A fire gutted the restaurant in 2008; it has since been rebuilt and is now open for business once more.

I stopped in for a cup of coffee. One interesting thing in the Café is the bathroom. Even square inch of the walls are covered with graffiti.

The Flamingos are a nice touch |
Next it was on to Missouri - pretty uneventful and not too much to see. I stopped at the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon, MO, a nicely renovated old motel. Nevertheless, I guess unless you stay there it’s not much to write about.

Today was bittersweet. I was getting close to home, but the Big Trip was almost over. I knew the last three days would be a little anti-climatic after all of the great sights heading West and then back. But all good things come to an end.
