- Description
- The entrance to a roadside attraction in the city of Catoosa, Oklahoma features two kissing blue whales above a wooden gate. A sign that reads “Welcome” is just below the whales, and an “Oklahoma US 66” sign is between the whale’s heads. A cement walkway leading to what appears to be a man made lake with a blue whale structure in it dominates the center of the photo. Leafless trees surround the area pictured.
