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…

Today we’re heading off 66 to make an overnight stop in Sedona.  But first, we made a stop at Meteor Crater Natural Landmark.  This is an impact crater formed 50,000 years ago by a 160 foot wide asteroid made out of nickel-iron.  The impact of the asteroid caused a hole a mile-wide and 550 feet deep.  That’s one big…

April 13th – Gonna stand on a corner We left Gallup with a course set for a famous corner in Arizona.  But before that we took a trip to the Petrified Forest National Park (using that America the Beautiful park pass) and were treated with the most spectacular views of the Painted Desert.  This badlands area with its…

Today was a chill day for us, we booked two nights at the El Rancho so we would have a full day to recharge.  The El Rancho Hotel is an historic hotel built in 1936 by R.E. Griffith, whose brother was a movie director.  The hotel quickly became a favorite spot for Hollywood movie productions.  The list…
