Continue to drive forward 5miles and you will see the world's largest rocking chair on the side of the road, very conspicuous, judging by the size of the rocking chair, it is estimated that it is for Optimus Prime to rest ==, there is a small shop next to it, full of road-style accessories, and there is a pair of skulls and antlers of extinct bighorn deer on the lintel.

It's too domineering! I also met an elderly couple in the United States, the old man and Yunluo exchanged a few words, telling a story about the road, travel and love, for which Yunluo also wrote an article - "The Old Rider of Fanning", this time Route 66 for them, is a revisit to the past.
The poor travel guide introduces the devil's bend, the classic devil'selbow, which is also roughly located on Googlemap, but after going there, I didn't find the landform and scenery similar to the canyon bend, and the unexpected gain is that this is a very individual bar, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu call it a "corset bar".
Because the ceiling of the bar is covered with all kinds of bras, from ACUP to FCUP, all kinds of colors and textures, and it is extremely beautiful! It is said that every adult woman who enters the bar must take off her corset on the spot and hang it up, looking up at the hundreds of bras that are within reach.
Dazzled is also drunk. Yunluo thinks it would be very interesting to open a similar bar in a place like Huaguo!
Leaving the devil's turn, the next stop is Lebanon, there is a time-honored Route 66 motel, and Springfield, Missouri, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu are also hurrying by, it was raining rain, the sky and the earth were blurred, except for some historyroute66 street signs, there was nothing special.
Finally, head to Hall, famous for its antique bazaar, and look for the whitehallmercantile. The shop was found, but unfortunately closed, and I could only look at it from the door, and there was a car repair shop next to it, which placed two retro cars from the 5th and 60s of the last century. Bunker up.
Arrived in Joplin City in the evening, lived in the plazamotel next to the main road in the east of the city, just after living an American came to the door to beg for cigarettes, took a dollar and signaled to buy two, Yunluo gave him a few and was not embarrassed to accept his money, and after a while, the buddy brought two cans of Coke to express his gratitude, which was very righteous.
I remember a few days ago in Yosemite, I also met a man named Sean who took a dollar to ask Yunluo for cigarettes, and usually handed one over very boldly, after all, Yunluo often has a cigarette addiction but the cigarette box is empty.
Still wake up early. I got up at 6 o'clock, and when I saw that the eastern clouds were good and the sun was about to rise, I ran to the road to find a good sunrise viewpoint to see the newborn sun and the morning glow.
After getting in the car and setting off, we first walked north along Route 66 to the small town of Catavela, north of Joplin, and found the legendary supermanon66 ice cream parlor, which is still closed and can only be seen at the door. There is a Route 66-themed wall painting diagonally across the road, and there are quite a few similar wall paintings along the road after that.
Sometimes this simple street art doesn't have much professional artistic value. But it does bring some different colors to the city, and it will also feel like a sight to behold when you drive by. I remember when I rode around Taiwan two years ago, I was most impressed by the cute graffiti on the chimney of the factory.
Back in Joplin to visit the Candyhouse Gourmetchocolate, which was also recommended on the bag, the female manager was very enthusiastic and curious about why so many Chinese tourists came to their store. Yunluo explained that this was because it was recommended by Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's guidebook!
It's like Seligman's barber shop is visited by a lot of Japanese people, and it's probably mentioned in Japanese guidebooks! The female manager also introduced Yunluo and Yan Shenyu to know the owner of the candy and chocolate shop, and asked the staff in the workshop to take Yunluo and Yan Shenyu to visit Qiao! Gram! Force! Work! factory
! The whole workshop was filled with a strong cocoa flavor, and even Yunluo, who was indifferent to sweets, drooled! The cocoa raw materials here are imported directly from Africa, and they are all chocolate bricks that are bigger than bricks. The slurry is re-formed in the machine and then processed. In short, the staff is too fluent in English and too many professional terms, and Yunluo can only accept some general information.
Yunluo, who almost never buys souvenirs during his travels, bought two boxes of Route 66-themed chocolates in this store as souvenirs, and arrived in Kansas shortly after Joplin's departure, which is only a short stretch of Route 66 in Kansas, passing through two cities.
Among them, Canary is famous for the prototype of the trailer Panya in "Cars", but the first time Yunluo and Yan Shenyu did not find Brother Banya! They have all given up and continued to move on to the next town, only to find the trailer Panya on the Internet, the specific location of the fire truck Xiaohong, is indeed relatively remote, near a gas station.
So Yunluo and Yan Shenyu decided to turn around and go back to find it, and finally saw that the trailer "Banya" was rusty, but those two front teeth were really cute, no wonder American cartoons are amazing, and they can always find some good inspiration in the real world. There is also a row of prespendably abandoned used cars parked across the road, and Yunluo really likes these retro models!
After leaving Kansas, it was in Oklahoma, Vinita is said to have fried cow testicles, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu were not found, even if they found Yunluo, they didn't have that heavy taste ==, when they entered the city of Catusa, they will see a pond on the right hand side of the road, and there is a cute blue whale sculpture in the pond.
It was a wedding gift from a zoologist who spent two years to his wife who studied whales, quite romantic, it was a story 40 years ago, and now the protagonist of the story is ancient, but this blue whale building still attracts many people to visit as a love and romance mecca, and even the signs of the public toilets are very cute, which are cartoons of Mr. Blue Whale and Miss Blue Whale.
Having been a town of violent gunfights and now unremarkable is not long after leaving Stord, and it's tempting to see an earlybirddinner bar and gas station at a three-way intersection, with two classical mechanical gas pumps and a Route 66-themed wall painting at the three-way intersection.
It embodies the spirit of adventure that leads to unknown roads in the distance. One town not mentioned on the Route 66 tip, Chandler, was also a bonus, this town has a Route 66 museum, free restaurants, and a photo exhibition about Route 66, which is very, very good! So much so that Yunluo invisibly increased the pressure on himself, because he also wanted to take a beautiful picture taken by the photographer ==, okay Yunluo was too greedy.
This museum postcard is nice and cheap, $1 for 4 sheets. Before leaving the town, you will also see a wall painting and an old gas station, which is also a rusty mechanical gas pump, full of vicissitudes. If you drive 6.7 miles, you will pass a motorcycle museum with a lot of exhibits.
Even going back to the original era, it still looks like a bicycle in the original motorcycle.
Arcadia town is the round barn, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu arrived when the barn was about to close, hurry in to go in and take a look, the light is quite dreamy, but empty with a smell of dried grain, not far in front of the barn there is a large cola bottle building composed of rings, guess if it is night, it will look good to light up.
Oklahoma City is very large, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu just passed, drove to the lake and walked around the lake for a small half circle, and then returned to the highway, and glanced at the historicfortrenoandpostchapel northwest of El Linor, the kind of old house in the 18th century, there is a factory nearby, and when entering this area, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu took a shortcut to enter.
Countless crows were startled, the scene was spectacular, and when they wanted to leave from the main gate, they found that the door was closed, and they had no choice but to return along the way they came, and they were startled by countless crows. Here's an apology to Raven-kun!
It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when I arrived at Elkcity, I chose to live in AmericaBestValueinn, the conditions were quite good, I also saw the wonder of the lightning storm behind the dark clouds when I smoked outside the house in the middle of the night, the heavy rain poured, the temperature plummeted, and the dark clouds were illuminated by lightning into dark blue and lilac, like a dream.
From Elk City, it was cloudy, and it was raining lightly, there are many road-themed museums in this small city, you can buy a pass, but Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's itinerary did not have time to visit the museum carefully, just looked around outside, and an abandoned railway station and old-fashioned train cars could be seen on the lawn.
The Route 66 Museum sign is large and prominent. I didn't sleep very well, I actually fell asleep in the car, and when I was woken up by my companion, I woke up my eyes and thought that I had arrived at the road movie scene of "After the End", which is simply in line with all Yunluo's imagination of the perfect location for a road movie, gloomy weather.
The straight gray-black asphalt road leads to the horizon, the barnyard grass on the roadside sways in the wind, making a mournful sound, the windmill blades on the roof of the mill in the distance slowly turn, the creaking sound reveals a sense of age, the road is empty of people and cars, and the clouds are immediately sobered up by the cold wind after they fall from the car.
Then light a cigarette and listen to the music of "Ordinary Road", with a strong sense of substitution, it is recommended that Han Han can come here to shoot the next road movie.
By the way, here is already on the territory of Texas, and the impression about Texas when I was a child was the cartoon Texas Sheriff, the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear! There is also a shape-shifting horse, which is extremely windy. In fact, Texas is also the most representative of the American Midwestern style, and the waitress girls in the steakhouse here are cowboy hats. (To be continued.) )
