Cattle drive on the Mother Road May 22, 2009

Here’s something you don’t see every day — a cattle drive on Route 66.

It’ll happen from Bushyhead, Okla., to Claremore, Okla., from 7:30 a.m. today until about noon or so. It’s part of the 63rd Will Rogers Stampede Rodeo in Claremore and in honor of late congressman and rodeo announcer Clem McSpadden, who died last year. Don’t worry; the cattle will be on the right-of-way, not on the Mother Road itself.
