2025 April Route 66

 So I have been touring with my WIN's friends on Route 66 to move between wintering in Mexico and Arizona to Arkansas and Missouri for kayaking with other WIN's friends. 

Typical Route 66 touring is to hit it as you go, the locations are so spread out that you would definitely waste a day to keep returning to your RV. So you pull off alongside the road every time an attraction is there. Stop and Go, over and over.

Some really cool things to see though.

Imagine in a desert a deep hole in the ground so deep divers are screened before entering and sometimes are restricted to a limited depth. Bob Schools who is traveling with me learned to scuba dive here.



No examples evident to see why its called Outlaw


I remember this!

Same crew, Bob's are on opposite sides now, can you tell them apart?


Anyone remember these?





This has quite a reputation for good steaks. Unfortunately, we were not hungry at the time.





The artist who drew all of the murals in town had a studio here. He lives in Arizona for his health now but does come back annually to touch up. It shows in how well these murals are!
