So how do you end up in Shamrock, TX on the way from Liberal, KS to Durant, OK?? Nice pictures, and I like that old wrecker in the background of the first shot, too.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I always forget about that skinny OK panhandle! In my mind KS is due north of OK, and TX is south of OK.... Plus Liberal is waaaaaaaay out in SW KS, too.Roger

"Get your kicks on Route 66" - - - I was born in Shamrock in 41. My Dad worked at that Conoco Towers Station and later at the Ford Garage in town. My Mom worked as a waitress in the Cafe next door called the U Drop In back in the early 40s. When Johnboy went thru there last year he picked up a lapel pin and sent it to me. Got kinfolk in Duncan and great memories of that country. Great pics and thanks for sharing.

Yeah, can't remember now; but I think I also sent you what would be virtually the same photos!
Strange how iconic buildings like that attract people . . .

Easy Trivia Question:
Name the radio personality who was born in Shamrock. Really easy for anyone who lived in North Texas for more than
1 hour.

That's the way we did it last time too. Originally Posted by daytonagary

It's a great trip across a great country; saw some great sights and met with some great people.
(Also met some total idjits; so dumb they couldn't find the seat of their trousers with both hands. But they were a minority.)
Going to have to do it again one day; but this year it'll be Scotland we'll be touring.johnboy
