Centennial Land Run Monument -- An Impressive Piece of Oklahoma History…read more Even with Oklahoma temperatures flirting with all-time highs, I wasn't going to let the heat stop me from visiting the Centennial Land Run Monument! And I'm glad I didn't. This is a fantastic tribute to Oklahoma and the historic Land Run of 1889. The sheer size and detail of the bronze sculptures are impressive. Horses, wagons, riders and families are captured in motion, giving you a real sense of the excitement and chaos that must have surrounded that day. The monument features 45 larger-than-life bronze figures created by Oklahoma artist Paul Moore, and seeing them up close gives you a much better appreciation for the scale and craftsmanship involved. (Visit Oklahoma City) There was one advantage to visiting during the brutal Oklahoma heat -- hardly anyone else was there! I practically had the monument to myself and was able to walk around, take my time and get some really great photos without crowds. It's outdoors, open year-round and completely free, making this an easy stop if you're visiting Bricktown or exploring Oklahoma City. (Visit Oklahoma City) A beautiful piece of artwork, an interesting piece of Oklahoma history, and absolutely worth seeing. Five stars from me!

On a quiet weekday morning, the Centennial Land Run Monument feels almost cinematic. All that…read morebronze motion is frozen in a moment of time along the Bricktown Canal. The whole installation commemorates the Land Run of 1889, when settlers surged into the Unassigned Lands to stake homesteads in what would become Oklahoma Territory. The scale of the installation here is enormous, with dozens of figures charging forward. Horses stretched mid-stride, wagons tilting, every dace carved with urgency. One has clearly fallen in their haste. It really does tell the tale. We had the place mostly to ourselves which made it easy to slow and take in the detail. The only interruption was a family who decided the clearly posted "no climbing" sign was more of a suggestion than a rule and that's why we can't have nice things. Grrr! But even that didn't take away from the artistry. Paul Moore spent more than twenty years bringing this to life and the result is one of the largest bronze sculpture installations in the world, honoring the settlers who raced out on April 22, 1889.

Oklahoma City (OKC) is the capital and largest city in the state of Oklahoma. My eldest daughter…read moreand I flew into OKC International Airport which was the beginning of our 2026 Mother Road Route 66 road trip. I didn't do much research on OKC before our trip, but after we came back, I looked up why OKC is so popular. Here are the top 4 reasons for its popularity per Google. "*Oklahoma State Capitol is the only state capitol in the US with a working oil well on its grounds. *World's first-ever parking meter was installed in OKC downtown. *OKC National Memorial & Museum honors victims and survivors of the tragic 1995 bombing. *OKC ranks as one of the largest cities in the U.S. by land area (600 square miles)." I have also read there are some cities with great eateries. We did not venture on many restaurants in OKC during our trip. Should I return back to OKC in the future, I shall explore a bit more. Safe travels! Note: Part of Route 66 Centennial Celebration road trip with my eldest daughter in June 2026

One thing for sure is that this city loves their basketball team, the OKC Thunder. I find this city…read morevery low key and is known for it severe weather. It rained most of the time I was there. Hail storms, thunder storms (the basketball team has the perfect name) derechoes (wind storms) and tornados are also a viable threat in the area. The city has a lot of public art and a very proud history dating back to the Native Americans (1889). It is the state capitol and most populous city in the state (20th most populous city in the US). Some of the city's notable attractions include the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum, the canal, Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark (home to the OKC Comets), Paycom Center (home to the OKC Thunder), National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, the Oklahoma City Zoo, the Museum of Osteology, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the state capitol, the Science Museum Oklahoma, and the Myriad Botanical Gardens. If you only had time to visit one place though it would easily be he Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. That place is amazing. The city has a good amount of hotels, restaurants and bars. You will find a high concentration of those in the city's Entertainment District, Bricktown. I found the food and especially the drinks to be reasonably priced here. The city does not have an extensive transit system. They do have buses and trains. Most parking downtown is covered by metered parking and commercial lots, but they are all reasonably priced. Most of the people that I met were very friendly. Some of the friendliest people I have encountered during all of my travels, as a whole. I like this city. There may not be a lot to do or fast paced as compared to other major cities. But they city is easy to get around, easy to get in and out of and have some of the friendliest and welcoming people that you will ever met. I enjoyed my time there and hope to make it back there again soon.
