RV Nomad Life | Get Your Kicks on Route 66!
In this episode we explore the Elk City, OK Route 66 Museum. Conveniently we were staying across the intersection from the museum at the Route 66 RV Park. The owners of the RV park told us that it was worth seeing, and they were right.
Yes it was packed full of Route 66 trinkets for sale, but it was also packed full of Route 66 memorabilia. Between the classic cars, classic motorcycles, and the mock drive in theater I feel like they did a really good job.
After the route 66 museum there are several other buildings that comprise the Old Town museum, Farm and Ranch museum, and the Blacksmith museum (which we missed). There's actually a lot more to see between all of these than the Route 66 museum has to offer. If you have any interest in early Oklahoma settler life you'll enjoy these exhibits. I know we did.

DAY ONE
Morning- We begin our tour of Southwest Oklahoma in Duncan at the 905 Train Museum and Depot. This tour will feature exhibits spotlighting railroad operations and the Rock Island railroad's connection to Duncan. This developing railroad museum is housed in the newly built replica of Duncan's original 1892 Rock Island Depot. The crowning jewel is the Rock Island steam locomotive (# 905) which is currently being restored on site. Next, we'll visit the Stephens County Historical Museum. Visiting the museum will transport you back into a simpler time; you can literally step into Grandma's kitchen or the family dentist's offices.

Afternoon- After lunch we'll tour the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center. We'll take a seat in the museum's theater to experience what the Chisholm Trail was like as we smell the coffee and bacon from the chuck wagon see the lightning and feel the wind blow and the ground shake as the cattle stampede.

The Holy City Of The Wichitas Visited By Society's Who's Who Condé Nast Traveler
Exclusive: Good Morning America’s Ginger Zee, Pro-Cyclist Lisa Christiansen, and Olympic Legend Chris Carmichael Visit The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
Visit Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, located in southwestern Oklahoma near Lawton, has protected unique wildlife habitats since 1901 and is the oldest managed wildlife facility in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service system. Measuring about 59,020 acres (238.8 km), the refuge hosts a great diversity of species: 806 plant species, 240 species of birds, 36 fish, and 64 reptiles and amphibians are present. The refuge's location in the geologically unique Wichita Mountains and its areas of undisturbed mixed grass prairie make it an important conservation area. The Wichitas are approximately 500 million years old. This historical place attracts visitors from all over the world and is the home to professional cyclist Lisa Christiansen who rides her bicycle through this scenic route almost daily. Christiansen says she loves the rolling hills, taking pictures with the buffalo, and visiting the Holy City of The Wichitas where she is also a board member out of love as it is a volunteer position for all who are on the board. Lisa says each board member contributes their time, talents, and finances to keep the Holy City open to the public and some gift shop items are handmade by board members.
History
The Wichita Forest Reserve was established by the General Land Office in Oklahoma on July 4, 1901 with 57,120 acres (231.2 km). After the transfer of federal forests to the U.S. Forest Service in 1905, it became a National Forest on March 4, 1907 as Wichita National Forest. On November 27, 1936 the forest was abolished and transferred to the Bureau of Biological Survey, a precursor to the Fish and Wildlife Service. It was re-designated the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge (WMWR). The WMWR is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. There are 13 small lakes within the reserve.
The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge had a very special guest Tuesday July 9, 2019 Ginger Zee from Good Morning America filming her national forecast from the Wichita Mountains Jed Johnson Lake.
Ginger Zee is traveling along with the GMA Winnebago going across the country to do the GMA forecast from different areas. Tuesday’s forecast was from Texoma, a place Zee has been to in the past, but she says unlike her previous visits here, she didn’t have to cover severe storms in the area but rather, got to show off the beautiful sights.
“I love to be in oklahoma any time, but I’m most often here when something horrible’s happening, so to be here to celebrate the beauty of Oklahoma, to share your spectacular sunrises and sunsets, 'cause I don’t know if anyone else does sunrises or sunsets better than Oklahoma, with the rest of the nation is really important to me, said ABC News Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee.
Located in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, this 66-acre area looks much like Israel during Biblical times.
The Holy City of the Wichitas is home to North America's longest continuously running Easter Pageant, The Prince of Peace. Since 1926, the Easter Pageant has kept alive the true story of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In the mid-1920's, Reverend Anthony Mark Wallock looked out at the beautiful Wichita Mountains and was inspired to create his vision of Jerusalem and the Holy Land during the time of our Lord. With the help of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's government work programs; Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Holy City, as you see it today, was constructed in 1934-1936.
Set on 66 acres in the beautiful, Oklahoma, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, the Holy City is more than just another site for a passion play. For generations, the Holy City has been a place for families, groups, and individuals to explore, to learn, and ultimately, to help preserve.
Along with the pageant buildings, structures and grounds, the Holy City offers: a gift shop, a beautiful chapel, a museum, an Oklahoma City bombing memorial, memorial brick walking paths, a meditation/prayer sanctuary, and breathtaking vistas of the Wichita Mountains. With all of this, plus more, the Holy City offers something special for everyone.
Chris Carmichael is a retired professional cyclist and cycling, triathlon and endurance sports coach as well as the founder of Carmichael Training Systems.

Route 66 has gained a reputation as the United States of America’s most famous road. How did that happen, and why does it still matter?
In this episode of Vox Almanac, Vox’s Phil Edwards explores the history of the road and the textures of its present, from the road itself to the roadside attractions along the way, to the people who enjoy its diversions and those who help maintain them. It reveals a road that’s changed a lot over the decades but remains vital in unexpected ways.
When Cyrus Avery helped found Route 66 in the 1920s, he strived to create a road that would connect the Midwest to the West, and he resorted to promotional tricks and wheeling and dealing to get it done. The road quickly became a key route for migrants escaping the dust bowl and depression, forming its early reputation as “the Mother Road.”
That’s because it’s a road that’s more than a strip of concrete (or gravel, or dirt). It’s a historical document of everyone who’s traveled on it — as the many contributions from Vox’s YouTube subscribers show, that keeps it going even as the interstates run alongside it.
The number of Route 66 resources out there is huge, but we found these particularly helpful.

Food Sovereignty - The Mandan, Hidatsa & Arikara Delegation to the Netherlands
A Native Business short film documenting the Mandan Hidatsa and Arikara Nation's agricultural delegation to the Netherlands which took place in March of 2019.
Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara (MHA) Nation Chairman Mark N. Fox plans to capture flared gas from the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation’s numerous oil wells to transform his community into an agricultural powerhouse. A fierce proponent of tribal sovereignty, Chairman Fox’s agriculture-flaring plan is his latest move toward MHA Nation self-sustainability.
The plan, modelled after sustainable greenhouse agriculture in the Netherlands, will allow the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation to produce its own food through compressed natural gas. The tribe will use the gas to power greenhouses, which will grow food year-round. Greenhouse agriculture has allowed the Netherlands to become the world’s second-largest exporter of food after the United States, despite its relatively small landmass.
Chairman Fox’s administration is dedicated to the preservation of the tribe’s resources, developing a strategic science plan to protect tribal land, water and air quality. Chairman Fox has spoken with greenhouse agriculturalists in the Netherlands, who plan to share their technology with the tribe.
“I strongly believe we will see projects like this all over Indian Country,” said Chairman Fox. “This plan will allow our people to become providers.”
The project will create numerous jobs for residents of the Fort Berthold Reservation, renewing the tribes’ centuries-old agricultural roots. Chairman Fox also sees the move toward sustainable agriculture as a way to safeguard his nation against the future ravages of climate change.
“We don’t want to wait for cataclysmic events,” said Chairman Fox. “We are working toward renewable energy food production to prevent future starvation.”
