Friday, September 22, 2017 - After riding the Musical Highway and the Sandia Peak Tramway, we really enjoyed eating at 66 Diner located on Route 66 in Albuquerque.

Betty Boop, Elvis, Marilyn, vintage… Continue reading 09.22.17- 66 Diner in Albuquerque, NM

09.20.17 From Arizona to Tijera, New Mexico
Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - Here we are arriving in New Mexico. Dora and Boots like New Mexico! Another odd Rest Area. It's surrounded by mountains!

09.19.17 Petrified Forest and Painted Desert on Route 66 in Arizona
On the first impression, the Petrified Forest may not sound very appealing as it comprises stone log fragments scattered over a rather remote and otherwise featureless section of the Arizona desert. Apparently, it comes as a little disappointment to some, like us, who expect the trees still to be standing in thick rocky groves instead… Continue reading 09.19.17 Petrified Forest and Painted Desert on Route 66 in Arizona
09.18.17 Route 66 on the way to the Petrified Forest, Arizona
Monday, September 18, 2017 - When we left Williams, Arizona we drove down Route 66, when we could, on our way to the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. I say "when we could" because it doesn't exist everywhere it use to. In some places Route 66 has simply been replaced with I-40. In… Continue reading 09.18.17 Route 66 on the way to the Petrified Forest, Arizona

Sunday, September 17, 2017 - Route 66 starts in California and goes all the way to Illinois. We are driving the portion from Williams, Arizona to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
