Route 66 Trip

Post by JohnM » Mon Oct 07, 2019 11:58 am

Drove the original 1926 route of route 66 from St Louis to Cuba Mo. Round trip was about 170 miles. Stayed at the Wagon Wheel Motel, reported to be the oldest continuously operated motel on route 66. Attended the Cuba Lions Club car, truck and vintage travel trailer show. The town is very welcoming to route 66 travelers. Any visit should include a stop at Bob's Gasoline Alley just west of town.

At the Homecoming in Richmond I was inspired by Seamus Hnat's artwork on the side of his 1914 Touring to try my hand at it.

I'll repeat what someone else said on another post awhile back...

DO NOT GET Neck strain...just click on the picture, and it will MAGICALLY right itself (sometimes).

Worth a try, no?
