Beth Fenwick We finished our journey

It's bittersweet when you finish a journey. We were gone for a month, so we were really ready to come home, but we will miss the road and can't wait to get out there and do it again to see what else we can discover. If you want to read about the whole journey, please go to http://bethfenwick.com/route66.

Also, when you complete your journey at the Santa Monica Pier, please be sure to stop by and see Dan Rice and by a t-shirt.

Josh Friedrich Tri State International Route 66 Adventure 6.18-20.10

Our trip began by flying along the dreaded Interstate after a full day of work on Friday for a 7 hour drive to the Downstream Hotel & Casino in Quapaw OK. We hopped in on Rich Henry in Staunton at Henry's Ra66it Ranch to pick up a few Tshirts for the breakfast giveaways and Jim Hinkley's Backroads of 66 book. We made it to the hotel with no problems and hit the sack after 1 a.m. and woke up Saturday before the alarm went off to head to the Egroup Breakfast at 7 a.m. Now the real adventure b… Continue

Joe Loesch The Road Crew gears up for another Route 66 adventure

This past weekend my wife, Lori and I added a day to a business trip to Chicago so we could drive to Joliet on 66. Lori has done parts of 66 with me but not this stretch. After brunch at Lou Mitchell's, we headed out for Joliet. Lot's of interesting sights along the way, but I think the big thrill for me was to see my band's CD on sale at the Joliet gift shop. Elaine greeted us and spoke of the sights to see nearby. There was another couple visiting the gift shop, Paul and Sandy from Mt. Pleasan… Continue

Sean Evans February 18-April 21, 2010

Okay, so a little time has elapsed. In the long interlude between posts the large amount of snow which lay around like a lazy relative left. Funny enough though it is snowing again as I write.

Things have begun to liven up Route 66-wise. Perhaps related to Spring? Next week I'll get to travel to Santa Fe, NM. to partake in the annual National Park Service Route 66 Corridor Preservation Archives and Research Collaboratives meeting. Following that, I am making a brief presentatio

Josh Friedrich Saint Patty's day trip from Springfield to Funks Grove 3.18.10

Decided to enjoy the sunny, springlike afternoon and head to Funks Grove to restock our Maple Sirup supply. I picked up my son and we cruised along Route 66. Charlie was enjoying asking me "What kind of truck is that?" for each semi that went by on I55. When we arrived at the Sirup shop, Debby Funk greeted us warmly as usual. She appeared to be having a steady stream of customers as some were leaving when we arrived, one person was still in the shop, and another carload arrived when we left. I p… Continue

A quick bit of news! Our web site for the exhibit "Route 66 in Arizona, Don't Forget Winona!" has been updated a smidge to include the wall images, and images of and explainations for the display cases. While we would love it if everyone in the Route 66 community could come to Flagstaff and visit the exhibit, we realize that for most, a virtual visit may be all that is possible. Visit the exhibit at:

Sean Evans January 21-25, 2010

This is just an update to my pervious blog entry- The stats: Flagstaff received 54 inches of snow Tuesday-Saturday last week, or more than 7" of water in 5 days. Everything was pretty well shut down in and arond town (including our Route 66 exhibit). I-40-I-17, 89a, 180 all closed, as were all flat roofed buildings (read: stores) Thursday-Saturday. Misery, yes- although a walk in the park compared to events in Haiti. The city and county plow drivers have done a great job getting snow off of the… Continue

Sean Evans January 3-January 20, 2010

Here at the capital of snow (Flagstaff, Arizona), where glaciers roam the streets terrorizing the unwary, we are waiting out yet another day of snow. NAU was on a two hour delay today. We've received anywhere from 10-20 inches so far this week (depending upon where in Flagstaff one measures). The public schools have been closed all week. We are theoretically halfway through our plate of 4 wet, Pacific storms. In talking to folks, the glossary of terms describing snow is now quite vast (and most… Continue
