Oklahoma City and Tulsa are separated by one hundred surprisingly green miles along the Will Rogers Turnpike and the famed
Route 66
. The Blue Whale in Catoosa and the Round Barn in Arcadia are classic landmarks along the "mother road." West of the state capital, I-40 carries you across empty agricultural communities, the tedium only broken by the worthwhile Route 66 Museum in Clinton. I-44 to Wichita Falls passes near the ruggedly beautiful
Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
; to the north, in the Oklahoman Panhandle, ranches and tiny hamlets are the only signs of life.
