That's the stuff I like.  The old original, narrow Rt. 66 pavement.

That's what happened to Paul McCartney.   He got off on a section of "old" 66 and thought he was lost andwas given directions.  He was staying in cheap motels and decided to get the most expensive one on when he got to Okla City and thereafter.

The Show-Me state has quite a bit that's drivable. It went through Springfield's town square. To the west it's 266 now. Runs a mile or two N of I-44

Old Route 66 is 300 feet out my back door.  In years past, we've seen a lot of rental motorcycle groups on the Route 66 trek, and rescued more than a few. 


Here we are - somewhere in New Mexico




And a shot of Cadillac Jack's Ranch





Of course, ya gotta go thru Winslow, Arizona.

I have *lots*  :smiley: Back in the day, Dorcia and I took the Jack-All rig from Chicago to the Santa Monica pier. I had spent much of the Winter researching the old alignments, and tried to hit them all. We didn't get it done, of course, but I think we hit most of it. Dorcia says it was our best vacation ever, but she's into art deco and automobilia.
Here's some of the original..

The story is, they didn't have enough money to go between two towns with 2 lanes, so they just did one lane.
When the big roads were built, many small towns died. There was a lot of this..

I could go on all night.. :smiley:

Nope .

 Does anyone have a picture of the Phillips 66 station in Chandler OK ?

 TS

No.  I've ridden by it so many times I never bothered.   But I found this on the interwebs.  You know much about it?   :wink:

This place below is actually in Holbrook, AZ. 

The famous La Posada is in Winslow.  Restored now to the tune of over $12M. 

Lovely place...and we have stayed there several times.  The restaurant there, called The Turquoise Room is fabulous!  We may go there for Thanksgiving dinner! :thumb: :boozing: :cool: :bow: :wink: :thumb:

We were in Santa Fe / Taos over Labor Day weekend, and on the way home, stopped at this classic place for coffee off Exit 22 in historic Gallup, New Mexico!!

JJ-  I went to Taos late July.  My only "vacation".  I was surprised that so many places were closed there from -.  I was able to get a Navaho rug there (from Afghanistan, best to them over there).  Red River was packed, even to get lunch.  Still, We got a Mexican meal at Guadalajara and a Blake's green chili Lottaburger in Las Vegas, took the scenic way to Tucumcari.  Then back to OKC.

I'll check out that motel sometime I hope if ever in 4 corners.  But you can't go wrong with both places mentioned for a bite to eat.  Skip Red River for a bite.

New Mexico is indeed..."The Land of Enchantment" 

Not much has changed in Santa Fe / Taos since our last visit pre--.  Masks were required everywhere "indoors."

Lots of motorcycles in / around Red River.  Beautiful area!  A few photos from our adventure.  Would like to visit again someday, but this time, NOT over Labor Day - TOO HOT...TOO MANY tourists!  Maybe late April or mid Oct.

Here's Mr. Delgaddillo of the Snow Cap back in the day. He passed on to his reward (probably ice cream) a couple of years later.

As you might expect, he was always screwing with the customers. The kid in front of us wanted an ice cream cone, so he gave him one. No ice cream in it.. :smiley:
