Fletch continues the epic automotive pilgrimage westward, uncovering the rich roadside history and eclectic characters of Oklahoma and Texas.
Time for Oklahoma, and we see the architectural marvel that is the Arcadia Round Barn, exploring its unique 1898 construction and its enduring legacy as a must-see roadside attraction. Moving further down the asphalt, Fletch pays homage to a legendary landmark of hospitality at Lucille’s Service Station. Next up, its diving deep into decades of vintage memorabilia, classic vehicles, and regional history at the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum in Clinton.
The journey takes a nostalgic turn with a stop at Knobel’s place in Foss, followed by a fascinating look at some of the original, raw pavement alignments that still slice through the Oklahoma landscape.
In Erick, Oklahoma, Fletch shares a memorable and music-filled encounter with the legendary Harley at the Sandhills Curiosity Shop, a true capital of Mother Road character. After scouting a series of beautifully weathered historic gas stations, Fletch crosses the state line into Texas. You will get face-to-face with the graffiti-covered, buried fins of the iconic Cadillac Ranch, just outside Amarillo, before wrapping up at the geometric heart of the entire journey, the famous Route 66 Midpoint in Adrian, Texas, marking exactly halfway between Chicago and Los Angeles.
