RouteXpert Review
Day 6 of 14 on a cross country adventure across AmericaStarting point today is Tulsa, Oklahoma the second largest city in the state .
Heading away from the city after visiting the “Center of the Universe” (WP2) test your voice with the strange acoustics surrounding the brick circle.
Staying off the main Express Way and Turnpike we follow the roads away from the downtown area.
A few things that become apparent very quickly as you are travelling in Oklahoma.
It is huge! Large areas of open space with unbroken skies.
And things are direct, many of the roads and tracks, even out on the country away from the cities are straight, dead straight.
Not really the natural domain of the motorcyclist but the history is all around that how can you not enjoy the area.
Crossing the Skiatook reservoir, it is in contrast with the wild open countryside around. But Oklahoma has more man-made lakes than any other state, with over one million surface acres of water.
Heading north to Pawhuska on the 99 the gently undulating road winds it’s way through very green scenery until you join the Osage Nation Heritage Trail and head towards Ponca City, passing over the Kaw Dam along the way (WP18).
Turning north in Alva you soon cross the State line leaving Oklahoma and enter Kansas, continuing north passing through small towns along the way until heading west on US Highway 54/400 until one final change of direction towards Dodge City.
Passing the Kansas Veterans Cemetery at Fort Dodge (WP33) you eventually arrive in Dodge City, road names like Wyatt Earp Boulevard and Commanche Road remind us of growing up watching Cowboys and Indian films.
Stopping at the Boot Hill Museum we can now feel we are in the Wild West where you can immerse yourself in all things cowboy before stopping for the night.
3 Star day turned into a 4 Star day once we became cowboys in Dodge City
