After a good night’s rest in our own bed, it’s time to reflect on the entire trip.   We traveled a total of 6,806 miles, 3,379 over historic route 66, it took us 23 days, we stayed in 19 different hotels/motels, traveled through 18 different states (some twice), had dinner in 22 different restaurants, visited a few…

We packed up again and headed out, our intent was to take a leisurely ride through Ohio and into Pennsylvania and do some antiquing.  As with most of our trip, our plans changed and we decided we both just wanted to get home.  We were only about nine hours away, a long day but worth it.  The day…

April 23rd, 24th, 25th – Across the plains, a few states and tornado watches. We packed up the car and set our course for Omaha, NE.  As soon as we plugged in Omaha on Google maps we were met with an immediate warning, “Tornado Watch may affect your route”. 🙄 I have to say, that was a first for…

Moving across Colorado we started at the Western slope thru Rockies across continental divide on to the great plains.  This part of the state is flat, and it’s quite a change from the mountains and rocky terrain we started in.  It’s an easier ride now, nice a flat, not many trucks, much more enjoyable.   We stopped in…

We left Long Beach and officially started our eastward journey home.  Our first stop was going to be Zion National Park.  We drove through four states, California, Nevada, Arizona and finally Utah.  It was a long day; we reached Zion around 3pm and made a quick stop at the visitor’s center.  Zion was Utah’s first national park and is…

We decided before the trip that once we reached the end of 66 we were going to chill for a couple days in the desert.  We picked Twenty-Nine Palms, which is located right next to Joshua Tree National Park.  When I was looking to book something, I wanted a quiet spot where we could relax and not…

April 17th – The end of the road, for now…. We left Barstow with our sights on the final prize, the Santa Monica Pier and the official end of the Route 66.  We started our day with so much excitement and anticipation; we were on our way to the final stop.  Unfortunately, once we got close to LA…

“”””You’ll notice this post is a day late, for some reason it didn’t post, most likely operator error.””””” We left Williams and continued our westward journey.  We have been blessed the entire trip to not have hit any major traffic, that all changed this morning just outside of Seligman, AZ.  A major accident at 2am caused I40…

Today is the day, we are about 2.5 hours or more depending on LA traffic 🤞 to finishing up Route 66. Coast to coast! Check back later for all the details! See you down the road.

After a good night’s rest in Sedona, we headed north to get back on Route 66 and head towards our next stop in Williams.   Coming into Williams, you are greeted with a large overhead sign to welcome you to town.  We found Williams to be the quintessential Route 66 town.  A fun main street loaded with old…
