Guest Jim Ross Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Hi Gang, I just got back from Tulsa. Michael is doing well. They have moved him to a rehab unit and he is able to be in a wheelchair now. His leg is in a splint, and they have postponed the hip surgery indefinitely. He has begun physical therapy and can go home once he becomes more mobile. He asked me to send a message of thanks and gratitude for all of you who sent cards, prayers, etc. He has received several hundred cards and emails, which have been a great source of comfort. He jokingly said, "Kind of gives you a glimpse of what your funeral might be like." Visitors are welcome, so if you are in the area he is in room 592 in the Health Plaza at St. John Medical Center. As modern as the place is, they have no computer hookups, so he is without a way to communicate except by phone. That's it. If any new information comes my way, I'll pass it along. Jim R.

Guest Alex Burr Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Hi Becky, Your site brings back a time when a friend of mine and I drove 66 BEFORE it became old 66. The two of us celebrated our newly one freedom (obtaining our drivers licenses) by talking our folks into letting us drive from Maine to California and back. We took U S 20 most of the way out to the mid-west and picked up 66 in the middle of Illinois - and headed west. In CA we went north on 101 on up to Oregon and Washington state, then home on various routes - 2, 20 and 12. When was this - you can't imagine two 15 - yes we were 15 years old at the time (in Maine you could get your license at 15 - but it was changed not long after we got ours to 16) doing a trip like this today. And we did it in a 1937 Dodge coupe - tho we came home with a 1938 Plymouth coupe. The Dodge blew an engine in Oregon - about a quarter mile from a junk yard. What we did we drove until money got a little low. Then we would work at something for a few days, and then move on. You could do things like that in - ready for this - 1953. We lost a lot when the interstates were built - but I suppose progress would have demanded that hat trick sooner or later. Keep on trucking.

Guest David G. Clark Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 I guess this is what I get for leaving home without a map--I was on 66 a minute ago, and now I don't know where I am! Anybody know a decent place to get some road food around here? And maybe a nice mom-and-pop motel where I can get some shut-eye on a nice clean, comfortable bed? I know some of you have got to have an idea where I am--it looks like a good road, with all the features that make us love ol' route 66, but I'm heading somewhere else. I'm sure you know the road I'm on--a two lane highway, heading somewhere I may never get to, since there's so much to see and do along the way. Maybe I'm heading toward your hometown, or maybe I'm on your favorite road clear across the country. So, folks, post up and tell me--If you were me, what road would you be on, where does it go, what will I see along the way? Can I GET there from here? Gotta get off the road for a second now--I knew I should have taken a pit stop BEFORE I started driving--so while I'm off taking care of business, post up and tell be where to go!

Let me start my membership in this group by saying that I'm writing this email from the Tradewinds Motel, across the street from the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK (just a regular room.... didn't spring for the "Elvis" room this time... decided to be thrifty for once in my life! I'm on my way back from the dedication ceremony for the beautiful granite Will Rogers plaque which has been erected on Route 66 at the OK/TX border. What a magnificent event the ceremony was! A caravan of 16 cars (both vintage and new, adorned with Route 66 signs and flags)cruised Route 66 from Clinton to Texola, where we stopped at the Windmill Restaurant to pick up the Texas delegation and hear welcoming speeches, then proceeded to the monument itself. The day was clear and beautiful, with gorgeous pink clouds floating above us, and the crowd was impressive! Besides about 50 (or maybe even more!) of us Route 66 enthusiasts from OK and TX, we were also joined by State Senators, Representatives, County Commissioners (all of whose names I've forgotten -- sorry) and a busload of senior citizen tourists from California! Jeff Meyer from the Illinois Association was there as well, and the incredible Harley and Annabelle Russell ("The Mediocre Music Makers") entertained us with "Your Land Is My Land", and "Get Your Kicks on Route 66". How perfect could a day be? I'm so happy to begin my association with this E-group by being able to report this extraordinary and wonderful event to you. (Oh, and by the way, I handed out a whole fistful of AMERICAN ROAD pamphlets at the ceremony, and left some more at Harley and Annabelle's store afterwards!)

Guest Alex Burr Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Greetings, From a tired old roadie - I'm one of those who go back far enough to remember the time when there weren't any interstates (barely). Old enough to remember when there weren't any Mickey D's or BK's or DQ's. Old enough to remember when Mom & Pop ran the tourist camps, the garages, the little "home-cooking, all-you-can-eat-for-$1.50" resturants. And I'm only 65!!!!!!!!!!!! So it wasn't all that long ago!! It wasn't all sunshine and gravy tho; as C W McCall sings in his song, "Old 30", "she was 3000 miles of rockin' rollin' highway, radiators boiling in the summer sun..........". Yeah, traveling in the late 40's, early 50's could be a real adventure - you just never knew what was going to be around the next corner. So we look forward to the stories - and hope there's a few old timers join in so we can have a look at the fun and adventure of road traveling years ago. Keep on trucking.

Guest mausmp2000 Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hello to everyone from eastern Ohio, the only state that's round on both ends and "hi" in the middle! I've been a fan of old roads since I was a youngster. Originally from Dayton, OH I've lived all over the world while a member of the US Army Military Police Corps=Ethiopia (East Africa), Vietnam, Okinawa, The Netherlands, and a multitude of stateside postings. My "mail order" wife and I now live in beautiful Tuscarawas County, Ohio, approximately 30 miles south of Canton and 40 miles north of Cambridge; I'm the resident auto damage appraiser in this area for Ohio Mutual Insurance Group.

Guest grandall52 Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Thank you American Road, And especially you the Roadmaven for putting this group together. The two-lane highways bring us in touch with the real America in my opinion. Where else can you stop and fill your tank and mingle with the great locals of small town America? You can wander into a small cafe without standing in line or picking a number to order your food. There's a whole new world of adventure out there around the next bend in the road if you take the time to slow down and enjoy it. It was great to meet many of in Springfield, IL last week at the Route 66 Celebration and I was overjoyed to find out that there's a new magazine devoted to the other two-lanes coming out. Thanks Thomas and Becky Repp and Jim Ross for putting this together. You'll be getting my subscription as soon as I can sweet talk my wife out of the checkbook :-) We should be closing on our new old house (1917) next week in Yuma, Colorado so we've been counting our pennies. Speaking of Yuma, it has a great old two lane - HWY 34 - running through it too. I had the wonderful experience of getting stuck in a cattle drive 15 miles from town on my return trip from Springfield last week. Yes, only on the two-lanes! I love it. See you down the road, Guy Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, do you realize that your "great two lane", U.S. 34, shares pavement here in the Chicago area with good ol' 66? Ogden Avenue, which is 66 through most of Chicago, then all of Cicero and Berwyn, is currently still 34! At Harlem Avenue, 66 turns south, but 34 continues on Ogden through several more cities and towns on its way west through Illinois. So, there's an adventure for you! Follow 34 all the way east to the beginning of 66, then explore 66 back west! And when you're in MY neck of the woods, stop in for a visit!

Guest Jim Ross Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Greg, R.V., and gang, Thanks for all the enthusiasm you have for American Road! Believe me, I am as eager as anyone to hold it in my hands. Unfortunately, there is a tremendous amount of work to be done to get the first issue assembled, printed, and distributed, which is why we announced when we did for an "on-sale" date of next spring. As for making it available in the D.C. area, Florida, or anywhere else, this will depend entirely on the distributor. The sure bet is to subscribe and have it delivered to your door. Greg, thank you for joining our caravan. For those of you who may not know, Greg is founder and host the Route 66 egroup, and our rapid growth here is due in no small part to the good folks who can be counted among his more than 500 members. Finally, R.V., when you get a minute would you send your email address to me at: heartland@mockturtlepress.com Cheers, Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thelandrunner Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Greetings Jim, Thomas and Rebecca, As ELP would say: "Welcome back my friends... to the show that NEVER ends." Good to know that someday soon, we'll all be intersecting on the great highways of America. The Father and Mother Roads are only the tip of the iceberg, and the adventures and possibilities are truely endless along the trails and weaves. Our Two Lane Highways are concrete evidence that trails once existed, and one lifetime will never be enough for us to appreciate ALL there is offered as we traverse behind our fore-fathers. So great to be in such grand company in the search for the expected and unexpected. Congratulations in your pursuit to share the road experiences of those who meandor the narrow roads and two track trails, and for those whose lives depend daily on their existence. The AMERICAN ROAD magazine publication is sure to bring the much needed increase in awareness, appreciation, resurgence, preservation, and excitement to America's history of travel and exploration along America's trails, highways, and byways. Looking forward immensly to Volume One, Number One. Count me there! And I thought all these years, that my words were falling on deaf ears. You've made my day! Yes indeed! Welcome to the club my fellow landrunners! (;D Give me a shout if ever I can be of any assistance to your cause. In the meantime,...I'll be seeing ya'll just around the next bend on the new horizons ahead of us. God Bless and Happy Trails. the landrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
