Thursday, 5/22, Day 10: Yukon, Oklahoma to Amarillo, Texas
A pedestrian tunnel underneath the old Route 66 in El Reno, Oklahoma, built in 1936 by the WPA. This one made a bit more sense that the one in Odell, Illinois since it was under a four-lane road with parking on both shoulders, effectively making it a six-lane width. Also, it looks like at one time, there was a large school on one side of the street, and the other side of the street is heavily residential.

So, the tunnel was open, but it had a good foot of standing water in it. So, I couldn't walk through it.

An interesting thing about Yukon, Oklahoma that I noticed while leaving is that it's the place on the route where the trees disappear and the plains start.
