Today we rode a little over 160 miles from Glenpool (nr. Tulsa) to El Reno (Oklahoma) with a lunch break at the Route 66 Rock Cafe (not to be confused with the Hard Rock Cafe) in Stroud. The Rock Cafe was purpose built over 3 years practically single handedly by a local entrepreneur using local rocks dug out to make room for Route 66, which he bought for $5! It opened for business in 1939 and has been a popular Route 66 tourist trap ever since.

The service was excellent, the staff were delightful, and the food was delicious. I had the alligator burger (no really!), which as you can see I enjoyed immensely. The bill for lunch was $13.13, which might be a sign. Is eating an alligator bad karma? Perhaps I should stay away from Florida just in case…
