Route 66
I’m serious when I said I loved the mother road...hard to explain unless you have traveled for a great length. My wife enjoys my hobby and has her own Valiant she bought and she didn’t know much about Route 66, she really enjoyed it too, not her favorite part of our trip, but maybe she enjoyed seeing me having so much fun too.
We loved eating at the older roadside reaturants, the food was amazing on the entire Route 66. Went to a place in Vinita OK, can’t remember the actual name, sign said “EAT” typical greasy spoon type place with lots of old stuff gracing the walls inside...all the food network stars have eaten here and done shows...I had no idea what “calf fries” were, we were starving so I ordered them as an appetizer. Started eating them and they tasted good, just had a texture I couldn’t pin down. My wife ate a couple and she couldn’t do any more, by this time she had an idea so I looked them up on my phone and had a good laugh....she would have never eaten them if she knew what they were. I finished them off, the smaller ones were better lol
The gift shops were cool and the best one was the Jack Rabbit trading post in Holbrook AZ, super friendly owners and cool stuff to buy and a good price too.
We seen many old cars and bikers too. We drove our new Challenger and it was a blast on the trip. An old car would be fun, but I think a/c would be a must certain times of the year. I have a friend building a 55 Chev with modern upgrades just to take on Route 66 when done....I could go on and on, like I said, I loved it lol
