As we leave Amarillo and cross Texas on I-40, running parallel to Old 66, the next stop is Shamrock, Texas, home of one of the most carefully-preserved relics from Route 66' heyday, the Tower Conoco and U-Drop Inn. Built in 1936, these fabulous examples of art deco architecture is right off the I-40 and definitely worth a stop.
Before crossing into Oklahoma, check out the ghost town of Texola. In the next post, we'll visit the wacky Sandhills Curiosity Shop, one of the most interesting stops on the Mother Road.
