    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! Mikey C says: take me back to Tulsa!

    As far as rest stops go this one is nice. Has a dog park. Clean bathrooms fully stocked on that…read morevaluable TP. Also pretty calm and quiet place to park and nap if needed. Read up on some OK history while here though and get a soda if you want out of the vending machine.

    Which was your favorite James Garner character?…read more Was it the James Garner who played Bret Maverick in the 1950's series Maverick https://youtu.be/u4jUwXV_CIU (and reprised in the movie with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster)? Was it the one who played Jim Rockford as the ex-con turned investigator for the six seasons and 123 episodes between 1974 and 1980 of Rockford Files https://youtu.be/1pGGU_cbrBk? 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? It's a tough call for me, but I did like him in the 2000 movie Space Cowboys where he starred with Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland as four older "ex-test pilots" who are sent into space to repair an old Soviet satellite. https://youtu.be/gnGYgy744vU The people of Norman have spoken and it's the Bret Maverick version with this 2006 statue on Main Street where it crosses Legacy Trail Park. 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.]

    This is a quick 10 minute stop to see the statue and the depot. It's worth the quick stop to see it…read moreand read the plaques. If you're passing through stop to see it. The depot has a museum but it is only open till 2 so we didn't get to go inside.
