Event Coverage Tod n Buz do Route 66

Neat place!, been there as well. Unfortunately it’s alway’s been for memorials.

 

If you stand on your head you are on route 99!

 

I just got to the hotel, need to get some dinner, then I'll get the itinerary up and maybe a few pics. possibly video of the off road adventures, which was a lot of fun.

 

day 2.

I'm traveling with a couple experienced guys who are doing the navigating, so I just follow along and they find the check points. It's fun!

 

thanks for the pics!

I wonder if this video will show up?

 

All the sights plus off roading

 

Yes the video is working. Nice dessert road

 

Make Bill Engvall proud.

 

We stopped in Kingman for lunch.

 

This sounds like a lot of fun. Is fuel mileage a concern and is there ample higher grade fuel available?

 

You need a shorter skirt or tighter pants.

 

Jim @squirrel just rolled thru.
Stopped and got to say hello.

oh dang, wish I had opened up the hamb this morning. missed you coming through Kingman. i live one block from route 66 downtown. had I been sitting on my front porch this morning I would have seen you guys go by.

 

Did you get a Bonsai run from Jim?

 

What would Jim be doing with little, tiny Japanese trees?

 

It’s either auto correct or the Z is below the S. Pick one.

 

Thanks for welcoming us!

Sometimes fuel availability is a problem, but we make it work. The Vette is great, gets 18 mpg

 

Jim, thanks for all your posts, many of us live vicariously thru your adventures.
It was a pleasure and an honor to have you take time out of your run to chat.

mmmmm, smaller group than I would have anticipated and your 'modern car' is the oldest.....
good score...may you have a trouble free day of fun

 

Debating whether to do the ill advised route.

 

Not much ground clearance on a C1.

 

While you are standing on the corner there's a really good hotel close by. That is if you want to snooty steak. I had real good soup there. The Duke stayed there on several occasions, it's right beside the RR track.

 

you are in my neighborhood tonight

 

Williams is a great stop in the evening, lots of neon and good food.

 

We didn't make it to Williams. Our the depot. Finally stopped for food in Gallup at 3.

It warmed up enough to boil the gas in the carb at a stop so I'm going to open the hood every stop while it's kind of warm

 

Sounds like a good way to cover some miles. Thanks for taking us mere mortals along for the trip.
You do realise you're gunna have to change your avatar now the Chev's gone?

 

...and you are at higher altitude....less atmospheric pressure and the gas is going to boil at a lower temperature...
Gallup is 6600' elevation and you still climb to the continental divide west of there....
Around Laguna is my favorite part of old US 66
