That antique store said they get about 25 people a day during the summer traveling specifically to see Rt. 66. They come from all over the world. That day I was the only American that had stopped. I met three couple at the old station up the road. Two had come from Switzerland and the other from Britain.

Courthouse? Balderdash! Those people need to vacate right away and turn that place into a hotel. They can use the Post Office as their courthouse.

You, Diana, are my eyes for seeing the U. S. the way no one else sees it. I only saw one place that was worth taking pics of on my trip, but I am sure there were plenty more if I had just looked closer. Thanks for the pics.

Re: My Ride Along Rt. 66
I am always riding along and seeing things and I think to myself... Now that is a picture. Sometimes I do not stop and wish I would have taken the turn around. If I could just download my brain there would be some fantastic stuff. [emoji2]BlacktopTravelr wrote:You, Diana, are my eyes for seeing the U. S. the way no one else sees it.
