This photo was snapped outside of the now defunct Bent Door Café in Adrian, Texas. The town of Adrian itself marks Route 66’s midway point between Chicago, Illinois and Santa Monica, California.
This ghost sign wall in Dayton, Tennessee offers a two for one punch with the remnants of Mansfield’s Coffee Shoppe floating above a Drink Coca-Cola mural featuring a glass bottle design.
Like everyone else who’s been there, I have a mountain of photos which I’d snapped during my visit to the Grand Canyon. The struggle with sharing those pictures is that the canyon is so...
It would be understandable if you had some level of decision fatigue when you travel on Route 66. In some towns like Seligman, Arizona you might feel like you can’t go inside every single...
It’s funny how things worm their way into your consciousness and set up camp. Sights along Route 66 fall do this for me. The romantic sway that the Route holds over me has mysterious...
The beautiful whale mural has been on the side of the Bunger Surf shop in Sayville, New York for as long as I can remember in my time on the island. Unfortunately, I can’t...
Is it possible to trace the fluttering line of your path back to the point when you diverged from following the route where anything you wanted from your life was possible? Did you knowingly...
Leaving Zion, I followed Route 9 east to the Route 89 junction. At the “T” of that intersection is the Thunderbird Restaurant. Unfortunately I wasn’t hungry at all and didn’t sample their food, but...
This morning, while I was out in the yard with my dog, I heard the rawk-rawk of a raven. Here on Long Island, sighting a raven isn’t an everyday occurrence. When they do cross...
While riding in Utah in the fall of ’23, seeing the Moki Dugway was a must-do. The unpaved pass was something on my bucket list for what must’ve been over a decade. I first...
After many years of passing the Village Diner on Route 6 in Milford, Pennsylvania and not stopping, I finally did it. I stopped in for breakfast on a late-summer morning in ’23. The experience...
Now, I know that spiders aren’t everyone’s favorite critter, but you have to admit that this 17-foot metal beast is pretty awesome. There are lights lining it’s eight spindly legs. Utah license plates cover...
You know, as someone who identifies as a blogger, I sure don’t do a whole lot of blogging. And it isn’t because I lack inspiration, or that I don’t have pictures or thoughts to...
If you’re celebrating today, I hope your holiday is filled with love and delicious pie. Happy Thanksgiving!
It wasn’t until I pulled up to the leaning water tower in Groom, Texas that I really understood that the lean is really pronounced from certain angles. Depending on how you approach it, your...
On the coldest day of my trip, I followed Route 64 in New Mexico about 260 miles from Farmington (where I’d met Sunny) to Cimarron. With no knowledge of the road or areas I’d...
Not unlike Sunny the Muffler Man, I spotted this large letter postcard style mural in Farmington, New Mexico out of the corner of my eye while riding down main street. It’s in an alleyway...
When I woke up in Clayton, New Mexico, my plan for the day was to head southeast to pick up Route 66 along the Oklahoma and Texas border. From there, I’d get to pass...
