We started the day with four Australian bikers who were in a hurry to make it to their next stop. Soon after that, the anticipated group of 16 from the Valley Antique Car Club of Russellville, Arkansas arrived on the last day of their weekend cruise. They've visited before, and they're always an interesting group.
A very nice lady named Evelyn arranged this tour, and I had a great chat with her while others were drooling over the cars in the showrooms..
Two trailers arrived at once, this little teardrop (with the motto on the back "I Go Where I'm Towed To"), from Salem, Indiana. . .
The three folks on the left are visiting from Beijing, China. The man on the right is from Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Since they all arrived at approximately the same time, I photographed them together, not realizing that the Wisconsin gentleman had a wife in the car who simply didn't come in in time for the photo. The Chinese contingent is traversing all of Route 66 and taking huge numbers of photos. Many of those photos were taken in and around Afton Station. The Wisconsin fellow and his wife are also planning to end their road trip in Santa Monica. Yayyy for all of them!
Other visitors today came from Olathe, KS, Little Rock AR, and Eufala, OK.
Now, please excuse me while I continue to keep an eye on the TV screen, which will eventually tell me if I have to go to my basement with a mattress over my head. I love Oklahoma, but not this part. . .

I hope you & Afton Station are all right. Saw some storm coverage earlier this afternoon—we get them here as well, and they're frightening indeed!
All clear here, for now. Thanks for asking, Jen!
Did you have your Chinese welcome sign out?
Would you believe I didn't? I complely forgot while they were there, then wanted to kick my butt when I remembered about 15 minutes later!
