Eleventh Hour Bridgehunting

Most of my free time lately has been going towards research and writing of my book on Lost Tulsa Restaurants -- and I'm happy to say it's going well!  But all that time at the Tulsa Historical Society and other archives has taken away from my time on the road.  Not to mention it's been … Continue reading Eleventh Hour Bridgehunting →

Crafts & Crossings

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I had one of the best in recent memory, as my Mom and brother came over to our house for the holiday.  Samantha and Mom cooked together, Tyler and I played video games, and we all enjoyed a fabulous meal.  The family even made it to a movie … Continue reading Crafts & Crossings →

Backroad Bridgehunting

My mother-in-law is in town this weekend.  I am thankful that these visits do not come with the stereotypical hand-wringing and stress; I'm always happy when Cindy comes to town from New York.  She's a great lady.  Additionally, Samantha is on Cloud Nine the entire time; they usually spend most of the time junk-store shopping anyway. … Continue reading Backroad Bridgehunting →

Traveling the Western C’s

Last Monday, I hopped on a plane to Chicago for work.  Although I was there for several days and had my camera with me, I boarded the plane back to Tulsa on Wednesday without taking a single picture.  It was a bit depressing to spend all that time in Illinois without doing any sight-seeing.  I had Thursday … Continue reading Traveling the Western C’s →

Abridged Memory

Another day off, another road trip!  Although I went to sleep last night contemplating a trip to Springfield, MO to see a friend of mine it didn't come together.  I had to get the oil changed in the Mustang and by the time I was ready to leave town the long drive felt discouraging.  Instead, … Continue reading Abridged Memory →

A Day in the Osage

Thursday was my 35th birthday.  Over the last few years, I've developed a tradition of taking a road trip on my birthday.  Last year I drove up Route 66 to see Afton Station for the first time. The year before that was also spent on 66; I ate at Clanton's Cafe in Vinita for the first time. … Continue reading A Day in the Osage →

Gas Station Coffee and Two-Lane Roads

Although I've traveled a lot over the last few weeks, I haven't really felt that I'd done much exploring.  The few weeks before the wedding, I went to Oklahoma City multiple times, even once via Route 66, but it was mostly errand work.  The honeymoon was wonderful, but definitely had its own vibe.  After I returned home and … Continue reading Gas Station Coffee and Two-Lane Roads →

Holbrook Day

After six days on the road, I'd seen a lot of fantastic things.  I also had a lot of conversations with folks.  I love to drive, and Route 66 is a passion of mine, so it's a fulfilling and enjoyable experience all around.  That being said, it was nice to stay in the same place for … Continue reading Holbrook Day →

After a week in New Jersey it sure was nice for my neighborhood @Reasors to bring out the welcome wagon when I returned home to Tulsa. #OscarMayerFest
When Mom came to Sea Isle in 2018, she and Sam came across a little secret garden. We couldn't find it all week but today, our last day, Sam and I found it. Mom loved anything green and growing but hydrangeas were among her favorites. It's like she is saying hello.
The Cape May Lighthouse rises 157 feet at the southern tip of New Jersey. This is actually the third one built (1859) as the first two locations were lost to erosion. #lighthouse #NewJersey
