yesterdays tour of old route 66

[pippinwhitepaws]

i went for a short ride yesterday, along one strip of the original route 66.
the air field was in operation from about 1914-1935...only the stone markers are left along the runways.

Is that the road to Radiator Springs? Sorry I've seen the movie one to many times I loved when I was little girl my grandmother would take road trips they were fun all those road signs and places to stop and see they were all within a days driving!

Nice pics, Pwp!

WSD is right, a person could have a better life keeping off those interstates.

My kid just left CA for Charleston. He built a car for his Navy buddy, who came to get it over Christmas. I tried to talk him into Rte 66 for the trip, but they had other plans.

Ha! Ha! They had a glitch in the matrix after about 10hours on the road.
He called on his cell... He says, Dad, it's really cold here. Ice on the road and a cople inches of snow off to the side. I asked, Where you at?

He says, About 37 miles before Williams, AZ.

He's learning...

[pippinwhitepaws]

well, he is correct...it is snowing again.
37 miles east of williams is just about where we had that hundred car pile up last year. wicked little storms like that area.
