If you are visiting the area from out of town, the Bricktown water taxi is a must! I did not except…read morethe tour to be as long and informative as it was so it exceeded expectations! Our tour guide, Anitta, was great! She was very fun and shared great tid bits of history and info. We went at 4:30 on a Saturday and our ride was perfect - not too packed as compared to other times. I definitely would recommend purchasing a ticket, at minimum, a couple hours or even days prior to going. I could see this being much more popular in warmer months. It was already very popular at the beginning of April on a colder day. Overall, if you are checking out the Bricktown area and want a fun activity to do, check out the water taxi! it's only 30 minutes and you get to see the whole area and then some!

The City of Apache is very near and dear to my heart. I used to spend many endless summers there as a little girl visiting my grandma and grandpa.

If you are planning a trip to Oklahoma, the website for Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation…read more(travelok.com) is most definitely the place to start. Not only do they have a kick ass website, they will send you brochures, maps and guides to all the fun places and activities in Oklahoma. And, man, there's a lot of really cool stuff to see and things to do in the Sooner state! This is the agency to contact if you want an Official Oklahoma Route 66 Passport. US Route 66, sometimes referred to as The Mother Road, is one of the most important roads in American history. It stretches 2,448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, and over 400 miles of this historic highway run through Oklahoma. The Official Passport features 66 of the most interesting Route 66 attractions in the state. You can collect a stamp from each place you visit and you earn a nice little souvenir if you visit all 66. In addition to my Official US66 Passport, I requested and received a staggering number brochures and maps. I can't believe how cool this agency is to send me all this extremely interesting information for free. Among the most useful publications I received are a Guide to Indian Country and another highlighting Oklahoma's African American History & Culture. I also received road maps of the whole state, as well as dedicated road maps of OKC and Tulsa. It was cool to actually hold an actual map in my hands. I can't even remember the last time I used a physical fold-up map. Way cool! If you aren't planning a trip to Oklahoma, you should be! The Sooner state has so much to offer!

Or is your favorite James Garner the one who earned an Academy Award nomination opposite Sally Field in the 1985 film Murphy's Romance https://youtu.be/piU2gJdhgNI?

James Garner was born here in Norman Oklahoma and still considered himself a native despite living in California for fifty years. Accompanying the statue is a plaque listing his many film and television credits. Garner passed away in 2014 at age 86. [Review 16215 overall - 55 in Oklahoma - 1721 of 2021.]
