Such a Sad Day ... Saying Goodbye to Google

 Besties ... Google & Riley.

 

 Google loves blankies & his mom! 

 
Riley is so sad.

Such a good boy ... & lap dog!

Mary knows Google LOVES yogurt!

 

Barbara had some more yogurt for him.

Besties in the backyard.

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing EVER!

Ram Service & Petit Jean State Park

We took the Embassy to the RAM dealer in Yukon, OK for an oil change. The pups are so good in the lounge. Everyone smiles at them!

 

 Back on the road, then a rest stop on I-40 in Oklahoma.


Our home for tonight is Petit Jean State Park in Morrilton, Arkansas. 

It's beautiful here! 

Riley & Google hang out while Mary shoots some scenics.

 


It's a nice night for a campfire.

From Santa Rosa State Park to Route 66 in Tucumcari & Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo

How cute is this?!? Riley & Google got thirsty at the same time.

 
 Each campsite at Santa Rosa State Park had a nice covered picnic table.
 

It's time to head out but not before taking a pic of the strange dumpster.


We LOVE Route 66!!!

 
 
  
 
 
  
I remember the Esso slogan, "Put a tiger in your tank!"
 

 
I don't think Mary is lost. LOL!

 
 
Paradise Cafe

 
 
 
 
Mary shot a pic of me shooting an abandoned motel.
 

Del's Restaurant ... since 1956!


There's nothing better than a dog friendly restaurant with a pup menu! Riley & Google shared grilled chicken at the table & also took an order to go.



Yum!!!


 I can't believe we only spent 5 hours in Tucumcari. There's so much to shoot!


I love the Blue Swallow Motel!
 
 

 
 


 



Great license plate in honor of the 100th year of Route 66! 

I never get tired of shooting old cars & rusty signs!




I love taking pix of old cars.

 

Google called shotgun so I sat it the backseat with Riley.




After Tucumcari, We headed to Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. It's been a long time since we've been there. The last time was in 2005! The trash cans were filled with empty spray paint cans.



 
It wasn't easy getting pix without people in them. There were so many tourists!

 
Mary got a nice pic of one Cadillac with no people in it. 
 

It's so different than the last time we were here. So many layers of spray paint!
