Getting Our Kicks on Route 66

Day 19:
Today was a western paranormal day. Before we got out of our hotel, run by crazy, cranky nuts who recommend restaurants such as Lin's Grand Buffet (Chinese) and Olive Garden in the home of BBQ in the Panhandle!!! As we drove into Amarillo, we saw THE famous Cadillac Ranch, which is a bunch of early Cadillac cars, buried halfway noses down, on a privately owned farm. We backtracked for once in our journey and went because we had passed the strange sight the night before and wondered what the heck that was. It was amazing! All of the cars were spray painted and we happen to run into a photo shoot for a French magazine. We're going to buy out all of them just to see ourselves in the picture...just kidding. We graffiti-ed our names with spray paint and flung a couple dirt bombs and we were on our way to the Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City. We took the famous Route 66 road even though I-40 (which replaced it) would have been much faster. The museum was amazing and the artwork in the galleries look so realistic and there were so many exhibits to go see and have fun in. My sister dressed up as a gang member by wearing itchy leather chaps and a pink bandanna and leather boots. My sister was so uncomfortable I doubt she could wear the new, high heels and leather clothing the youngsters wear. There was a cool firearms exhibit and a realistic town, showing what is was like in the early 1900s. After a cool, air conditioned day, we headed over to the County Line BBQ (finally, BBQ!!) about a block away. The food was absolutely delicious, except for the ghosts running around in it... Our waitress Emily told us about the crazy deaths based on the early days of the restaurant which was a speakeasy, which was then known for gambling, drinking, and prostitution. On a couple of accounts, two people were killed around the 1920s, and you can still hear disembodied voices and the glass racks rattle at around 10:30 at night, by a man named Russell, who was shot. The ladies' bathroom was also a paranormal hot-spot from people hearing whispering from Margaret... when nobody is there. Lastly, the basement was made for tunnels, used by women to sneak into another building, in which one woman was decapitated for cheating on her husband. This place was on an episode on Ghost Hunters© on the Travel Channel© and the owner told of a brush to his neck, and the fresh scent of lavender perfume, the same kind of perfume the girls in the tunnels used. Haunted? YES. Tomorrow we continue east to Arkansas - visit the Clinton Library and will either end up in Little Rock, AK or Memphis, TN.
