Our Two Favorite Gas Stations

Our storytelling and book tours force us to make numerous pit stops. These are, by far, our two favorite gas stations. Both are on Route 66!

Erick, Oklahoma, is a town with slightly over 1,000 people, near the Texas border. It has one of the neatest service stations anywhere, billed as the Redneck Capital of the World. It is shown in the above photo.

O’Dell, Illinois, is slightly larger. We even discovered a great diner in O’Dell. It too has a brilliant service station, shown below, now filled with curios for sale. ClanDonnell did a wee bit of Christmas shopping there.
