Tuttle America?

Where is Tuttle, Oklahoma? What is in Tuttle? If you start driving north out of Duncan, OK you will come to the big town of Marlow. It is famous for it's outlaws. Next is the town of Rush Springs, famous for watermelon and speeding tickets. Then the budding metropolis of Agawam. I just tried to map it, and it is gone.
Next you get to Ninnekah, which is also famous for speeding tickets. The city limits is very long and you may think you are out of town, but you are not. Just a few miles further is Chickasaw, home of the Chicks. Whenever our football teams would play, the kids would go get KFC buckets to wear on their heads.

Now we head east to the town of Amber.
Amber is famous for Ribs!!
There is a really great little rib joint in the big town of Amber.







Just about 10 more miles through curvy roads we get to Tuttle. It has been a great ride.
You wouldn't think there would be any  place different to eat in Tuttle, but amazingly enough there is. It is called Grady's. The restaurant is on the second floor of the building behind the bikes. We were the last bike to arrive and Grady's was starting to hop when we got in there. We were a group of 12, but just after our group arrived a class reunion of 50 started to arrive. Our group ordered as we came in.  I really think a couple of orders got lost in the shuffle, because it took quite a while to get our food. It really didn't matter because we were having a great time just visiting. There was a new couple in the group tonight, so Keith and I are not the newby's anymore. After eating, a few of us decided to drive into OKC and go to Taco Cabana for more visiting. The drive was wonderful, the sun was setting it was beautiful and cool.
This group of people love to laugh and laugh. We looked up and it was 11 pm. That isn't too late, but we decided we did need to head home. We went out to the parking lot to get Bella and head home.  When we finally got on Bella it was 11:44!!! I did good staying awake while looking for animals until we got to the McDonald's. Then when I really needed to be awake, I could not keep my eyes open. I slept really good from Chickasha to Duncan. Keith was nice and did not keep me awake by talking to me. I really don't know that he could have, because I was sooooo sleepy. It was a great night!!!
View from the Back!

Until next time.

So glad you guys made it and got to go to Mole Nation after you had to wait forever to get your food. Guess the new restaurant has some learning to do....felt bad for you guys, but glad they finally fed you. Hate to have to drive all that way, and not get to put something in your stomach. You guys make our little group even more jolly, and so glad that you have been able to make the FNDR....Love it and love you guys. :)
