OBSCURIST TOURIST 079 - The Blue Whale of Catoosa is a waterfront structure, just east of Catoosa, OK on old Route 66. Hugh Davis built the Blue Whale in the early 1970s as a surprise anniversary gift to his wife Zelta, who collected whale figurines. Originally, the pond surrounding the massive Blue Whale was spring fed and intended only for family use. However, as many locals began to come to enjoy its waters, Davis brought in tons of sand, built picnic tables, hired life guards, and opened it to the public. By 1988, the Davis' were not able to continue managing the attraction, so they closed it to the public.
Come along with me as I explore this classic Route 66 attraction and some of its surrounding grounds.
