Touring is thirsty work!.
A great day to touring around today, first up we doubled back to Two Arrows, Two Guns and the Meteor Crater for some photos and a quick visit. Then it was back to Flagstaff then we headed north to Cameron and then off into the Grand Canyon National Park. Photos and words don’t adequately describe …
After the storm yesterday we hit the road and found it pretty cool within a short distance. So a quick stop was in order to put on some extra clothes. The road through this part of New Mexico is poorly signed in regard to Route 66 signage. Not a lot to look at from a …
Day 12 was mostly a ride day with little of worth to see as far as Route 66 goes. There is some amazing countryside to be seen through New Mexico though. We chose the southern older alignment of Route 66 going via Los Lunas.Once we passed Los Lunas the countryside opened up to some stunning …
Today seen us leave Santa Rosa and head north on Highway 87, which was the pre-1937 alignment for Route 66. We veered off to Las Vegas NM. to have a look around. Las Vegas NM. was once home to Doc Holliday, Kate Elder, Wyatt Earp and Butch Cassidy. It was also where Peter Fonda and …
Our time in Texas was brief and today we would cross over into New Mexico. We had to check out the Cadillac Ranch on our way out of town though. Today wasn’t a very long ride only around 290km. Our next stop was the ghost town of Glenrico near the border of Texas.
Today we would enter the “Lone Star” state crossing over into Texas via Texola. Our first stop was the National Route 66 and Transportation Museum in Elk City, Oklahoma. We were there earlt in the morning so we took a wander around and checked out the buildings and the displays in the windows. With the …
2603k’s down and plenty of side trips on the Intestates 40, 41, 81 and 270. We’re sticking to the story that we’re not lost only site seeing. We visited the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, which the best museum we’ve seen so far. Otherwise not a lot to see along this stretch of road. It’s also …
A good day travelling today from Missouri to Oklahoma via Kansas. We ended up on part of the very original road today, only a single lane and very rough and potholes. We opted to turn around and bypass it. Only downside to the day was my GoPro mount breaking and the camera sailing off along …
Today seemed like a really long ride, it was through some beautiful country though. We visited Meramec Caverns and did the tour. Got the shirt and souvenirs as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwf2oCLwl-c&t=2s Stopped for lunch at the Missouri Hick BBQ, their pulled pork sandwich is delicious. From there on to the Fanning Outpost, home to the world’s …
Travelled down some lovely country roads today, got to check out an old timber covered bridge just south of Springfield IL. Still plenty of corn and soya bean fields to be seen. Went most of the day helmet free, been loving riding without a helmet. We visited the old Chain of Rocks Bridge on the …
