Fall Tour to Oolagah, Chelsea, and Foyil
Some members met early for breakfast at the Owasso IHOP at 8:30 am for a planned departure of 9:30 am. We caravanned through Collinsville and onto Oolagah where we toured the childhood home of Will Rogers.
From there we caravanned across Lake Oolagah at Wiganon to Chelsea to view the murals in the pedestrian tunnel under old Route 66. After lunch, we caravanned tp Foyil to see the Totem Pole Park. It was created by a man who taught wood working for many years in Sand Springs boy’s home. He had a goal of making a violin out of every type of wood.
From the Totem Pole Park, we caravanned to the center of Foyil to view two monuments to commemorate the winner of the “Bunion Derby”.
Spring Tour to Pawhuska
The Tulsa Region AACA Spring Tour Was to Pawhuska OK. Club members wishing to have breakfast were to meet at the IHOP in Owasso at 8:00 am. Those skipping breakfast were to show up at 9:00 am. From there our Tour Leader, David Turner, would lead the antique cars on back roads at a leisurely pace to Pawhuska.
The main feature of the Tour was a visit to the Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve of the Nature Conservancy. We were lucky, in that there was a herd of Buffalo next to the southern gate. David and Betty Turner gave a 45 minute talk about the Preserve and its operation. We then visited a taxidermy shop in Pawhuska and went to lunch at Buffalo Joes (a good place to get Buffalo burgers).
Then David Turner led us back to the IHOP in Owasso.
These are the cars making the tour:
