Oklahoma brings Route 66 nostalgia and oversized oddities—blue whales, giant praying hands, and totem pole parks. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
