On an obscure 1926-38 alignment of Route 66 between Kellyville and Bristow, Okla., sits the remnants of old motor court. It’s mentioned in Jim Ross’ “Oklahoma Route 66″ guidebook, but little else seems to be known about it.

It’s been closed for many years, but its seems the owner is doing a good enough job to keep the stone structure usable for storage.

Near the entrance of this half-mile alignment from newer Oklahoma 66 is a rusty old sign that says “Stop — Private Drive,” although it’s probably county jurisdiction. But I’ve heard the owner is very protective of his property, and there are dogs around. So if you check it out, it’s best if you stay in your car, or at least stay on the old road if you’re there for a photo op. The alignment dead-ends near this property, so you’ll have to double back to Oklahoma 66.

Also, on Sunday evening we went back to POPS in Arcadia, Okla. The wait for dinner seating was less than 15 minutes this time, and the food was delicious. It was apparent that the operational kinks seen during the restaurant’s first week had been ironed out.
