Get More Kicks On Route 66
My Route 66 pics+story, Sep 09
For 2009, my "major" drive was along Route 66, September 5-19. I also had a Thanksgiving weekend getaway to Tennessee and Alabama, complete with a few Route 66 stops in Illinois. Pictures of both trips are now ready...ENJOY!
** ROUTE 66 STORY **
In the midst of preparing my Route 66 pictures, I started writing a story about Route 66, which, for whatever reason, has been VERY easy to write. It is not complete, but I'm not quite sure to where it will lead. If you wish to follow it (some of you have already read the first portions), you can read it on Jim Hinckley's website:
** ROUTE 66 JOURNEY, SEP 09 **
The links are slide shows, complete with captions about my drive along Route 66....

Wow ... whoever set this as a feature, thank you!
Words cannot fully describe how much fun I had on this trip ... especially meeting the people along the way ... Becky, Rich, Gary, Melba, Laurel, Jim C, Jim H, Debra, and Paul ... to name just a few. Route 66 is alive and very well.
These are a few of my favorite pics/memories from the trip ... plenty more like them, of course....
