TODAY: PhotoDrive Route 66 OKC Metro Edition

We’re rolling out for an easy-going Route 66 adventure with friends, cameras, and plenty of photo stops along the way.

1:30 PM – Social time + arrivals
Meetup: Route 66 Park in Bethany
2:00 PM – Quick briefing + grab your easy-to-follow route flyer (packed with iconic metro stops)

From there, you can ride with the caravan or use the flyer as your own self-guided photo hunt as we head east toward Arcadia for dinner at The Chicken Shack —then we’ll wrap the day chasing that classic neon glow at Pops Soda Ranch.

Bring your favorite camera, comfy shoes, and that “let’s go see what we find” vibe. See you out on the Mother Road!

PHOTODRIVE
Route 66 - OKC Metro Area

Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 2:00pm the Red Dirt Photographer Team is rolling out for an easy-going tour along historic Route 66 with our partner Bedford Camera & Video.

Start: Route 66 Park in Bethany
Finish: Chicken Shack in Arcadia for dinner + stories + swapping shots

At our 2:00 PM meetup briefing, we’ll hand out a Route Details sheet with the planned stops and timing for the PhotoDrive. You’re welcome to follow the schedule with the caravan, or use the stops as your own self-guided route to explore and shoot at your own pace. Either way, the goal is the same—get out, create, and enjoy Route 66—then meet back up at the Chicken Shack in Arcadia for dinner and a little photo talk to wrap up the day.

No pressure. No experience needed. Just good people, cool stops, and that “let’s go see what we find” Oklahoma energy. Bring your camera (or phone), comfy shoes, and a full tank — we’ll caravan, hop out for photos, and keep it fun.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Forgotten Main Street.

Today, don’t just celebrate love - go chase it down a two-lane.

Get a little lost on purpose. Take the turn you’ve never taken. Stop in the town that doesn’t show up on anyone’s “Top 10” list. Because sometimes the best way to find yourself is to wander far enough that your mind finally gets quiet.

Here’s your FMS Valentine challenge: Shoot & share your favorite

- Place (a diner, a dust road, a mural, a creek crossing… anything that feels like home)
- Person (your ride-or-die, your kid, your dad, your best friend, your stranger-with-a-good-story)
- Thing (that old truck, the neon sign, the camera that’s been with you through it all)

Post your photos today and tell us why it matters. Tag us so we can see it and share a few favorites.

And for a chance to get featured: use so we can find your post and share your images.

Because love isn’t always roses and reservations…
Sometimes it’s gravel roads, golden light, and the courage to pull over and pay attention.

March 2026 is officially on the radar for our next Forgotten Main Street adventure.

We originally had plans sooner, but with some recent health issues and recovery in the mix, we made the call to push the trip back. Not to slow the story down—just to make sure we’re both strong enough to handle the rigors of the road and fully enjoy what we do best: chasing the less-traveled highways, pulling over for the quiet places most folks pass by, and capturing the small-town details that still matter.

We’ll share the destination and route as it comes together, but know this: the backroads are calling, and we’re answering—smart, steady, and ready.

Keep following our social outlets for updates, behind-the-scenes prep, and the first hints of where we’re headed next.

The Element Era: One Year In With Elvira

Somewhere in California on the FMS adventure in January 2025. There are vehicles you own… and then there are vehicles that quietly become part of the story you’re chasing. In January 2025, I picked up a 2007 Honda Element EX from Peep, and it didn’t feel like buying a used car so much as inheriting a rig that already knew what kind of life it was meant to live....

Save the date: FUJIFILM Demo Days with Mike McDonald!

On Thursday, February 19, 2026, we’re bringing the Fujifilm goodness to the Bedford Camera Oklahoma City store from 4:00–6:00 PM for a true hands-on demo session. Come get your paws on the latest Fujifilm cameras and lenses, ask all the nerdy questions, and actually borrow gear to test during the event.

Expect to see a lineup like the GFX 100II, GFX 100SII, X-T5, X-T30 III, X-E5, and more. Whether you’re dialing in your next upgrade or just curious what’s new, this is the perfect chance to shoot before you buy.

Here’s what’s happening:
• Meet Mike McDonald, Fujifilm Product Technical Specialist
• Hands-on demos with Fujifilm cameras + lenses
• Borrow and test gear during the event
• FREE firmware updates on compatible Fujifilm gear while you wait

Bonus round: After the store demo, we’re keeping the momentum going with our 3rd Thursday PhotoWalk. We’ll meet up at 6:30 PM at OFA Studios in the Plaza District and take the gear out where it belongs, in the real world, with the community.

Come hang out, shoot a little, and see what Fujifilm is bringing to the table for 2026.
