war Posted June 11, 2021 Share #26 Posted June 11, 2021 Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it all. I remember doing the length of 66 with a strip map prepared by Conoco with the locations of all of their services stations along the route. The trip across the desert was not to be attempted without a full tank of gas and a canvas water bag hung on the front of car to provide water in the event of radiator overheating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyjoe Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share #27 Posted June 11, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) That's really cool war, can you give me an idea of what year that was? And I agree, heading thru the desert in southeast California can get pretty scorching. Best, -Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

romquest Posted July 30, 2021 Share #38 Posted July 30, 2021 Tim, Remarkable, elegant, and much needed documentation for our time. Road tripping was a tradition for those of us with Midwest roots. You paint the evidence of great optimism - before the focus was blurred by change. Well done. -Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted July 31, 2021 Share #39 Posted July 31, 2021 This is an excellent documentary, which obviously brought many memories. I drove part of the 66 as an extension to a trip to Grand Canyon. I can highly recommend the winding part between Kingman, AZ and California, via Sitgreaves Pass. Stefan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
