Guest rudkip@sbcglobal.net> Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Actually they all do meet out by the old Holiday Inn (now something else) in Sikeston, MO..."business" 60 piggybacks 61 and 62 into Sikeston from that intersection, then heads West towards Dexter (Malone Ave, the original alignment of US 60)...60 and 62 meet again just outside Charleston, MO and piggyback across the Miss R. Bridge at Cairo where the intersect with the terminus of US 51 before crossing the Ohio R. together and splitting up at Wickliffe, KY...they then connect AGAIN in Paducah, KY and piggyback to Smithland KY before going their separate ways...61 has nothing to do with this relationship...following its own path North and South from the sky blue waters of Minnesota to the big muddies of Louisiana... 60 also meets 63 in Cabool, MO; 65 in Springfield, MO; old 66 in Springfield, MO; 67 outside Poplar Bluff, MO (the original alignment intersected with 67 and the terminus of 160 in Poplar Bluff, MO); 68 outside of Paducah KY (?); and 69 outside Afton, OK--twere 64 only a bit farther north 60 could have a connection with all the "6's" .... to all our friends in the Oklahoma City area, all the best!

Guest Alex Burr Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 63 no longer runs thru Memphis - it comes into I-55 north of West Memphis, then runs west along I-40 to somewhere around Brinkley. I had a photo of a U S 63/U S 70 sign somewhere west of Brinkley. Ensuing debate on American Road e-group brought out that 63 runs south into Lousyana from the discussion.

Guest Alex Burr Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Ok, I found it - 63 runs into I-55 north of West Memphis, then runs west with I-40 to exit 193 (Haxen). Then it runs south to Stuttgart, then to Pine Bluff and south thru Warren to El Drado, then into Louisiana (Ruston). It is co-signed with U S 167 to Ruston, but is not shown south of there - tho 167 continues south to Alexandria. This is shown in the 2006 Rand McNally atlas. Hudsonly, Alex B 63 no longer runs thru Memphis - it comes into I-55 north of West Memphis, then runs west along I-40 to somewhere around Brinkley. I had a photo of a U S 63/U S 70 sign somewhere west of Brinkley. Ensuing debate on American Road e-group brought out that 63 runs south into Lousyana from the discussion.

As much as we love highways, and byways for our gasoline combustion machines to drive on, I for one, also love trains and the idea of mass-transit. And the vision, or fantasy if you want to call it that, of full-blown, wide-spread, national and local mass transit, seems like a beautiful utopia to me.

Guest jerrymc66 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Press Release 2-25-2004 Announcing the coming of a brand new Guidebook to Route 66! While there are many fine books that cover all or part of the individual states along Route 66, plus extremely detailed guides to the entire Route (and an excellent set of maps), a need has been identified for an easier to use, whole-route guidebook. One directed at travelers new to Route 66: the majority of the motoring public who might wish to drive the Mother Road, but aren't (yet) hardy and dedicated Route-Warriors. That is the aim of a new guidebook, researched, written and illustrated by Route 66 artist and historian Jerry McClanahan (Co-author of the Route 66 Map Series and Bones of the Old Road video, Dept. Editor for American Road Magazine). Jerry, who has been researching and documenting old Route 66 since 1981, will take readers from one end to the other, both westbound and eastbound, in one driver-friendly, "easy to use on the road" volume, with plenty of maps, points of interest and spot illustrations.. While this new guide, to be published by the respected National Historic Route 66 Federation (www.national66.org), won't feature the exhaustive details of old road fragments, dead ends and lost alignments as in McClanahan's many articles, it will present as much quality, drivable Old Route 66 to the tourist as possible, in an easy and entertaining fashion. Final research trips, to update and verify the routings, will be made along both directions of the entire length of the fabled highway this Spring, with publication expected later this year. Title, price and availability will be announced as publication draws near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jim conkle Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well friends we have some fantastic news to share with you. We will be coming out with a Route 66 Newspaper that will cover the entire road from Chicago to Santa Monica. It is our intention to have our first issue out late May or early June. It will be a monthly at first and go to bi-monthly as fast as possible. Hopefully it will become a weekly within the second year. This paper will cover past, current and future news that pertain to Route 66. The format will be similar to USA Today. There will also be a web site to support the project. The overall message will be preservation of the road, stories that will entertain as well as inform the readers and all the regular features your local newspaper covers. The need is there for a quality newspaper and the time is right. We are looking for writers/photographers/advertising salespeople/distributors and of course subscribers. We want this to be a profitable partnership for those that assist us, advertise and read the newspaper. Please share with us your ideas and suggestions as this will be your newspaper. We are devoted and committed to its success and would enjoy having a lot of you share in that success. We are putting the finishing touches on the paper now and will share more with you soon. In the meantime if you want to be a part of this project we want to hear from you. Some of you are already aware of this project and have been contacted recently by the corporation that is backing the project. Yes we are still looking for a managing editor as well as editors. If you are qualified or know someone that is, have them contact me. There are many of you out there that know the newspaper business inside out. Now is your chance to get paid for your talents, passion and knowledge of Route 66. I want to assure you that the people/corporation that are backing this project are totally committed to its success. They are located in New York. We will be making a formal announcement in March. We look forward to hearing from all of you.

Guest jenniferrt66 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'm going to be traveling to Connecticut this week, and on my way back, I'd like to visit the Smithsonian. I'm leaving Friday at 3:00 and won't have Internet access after that, so any advice would be most appreciated!! I am totally unfamilar with Washington D.C. and would like to know what's the best way to acess the Smithsonian American History Museum. I have a map, so I'm sure I could find it; my question is about availability of parking in the area. All I could find was that there are alot of parking meters in the area but they go fast, so be there by 10:00, when the museums open. I won't be there probably until 12:00 or 1:00 on a Saturday afternoon. Is there paid parking nearby? Or should I go to a suburb and take a train in? (I don't really want to do that because I only have about 4 -5 hours to spend at the museum and want to hit a few highlights). I don't mind if I have to park in a parking garage and pay a fee as long as it's not too far from the museum, but I can't find any list of parking garages! Or is there another area in the city I can park and then take a cab there? I'm clueless, but I really want to visit the museum! Thanks!

Guest Chris Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Yup, I un-moderate a couple other groups. It's a good idea to keep photos on the small size and delete the full size image as you go. 30MB is not a lot of space but if you are careful, it can be. Some of us have used our yahoo ID photos section for additional storage and provided a link when space gets tight. Or one could create a geocities "sister" website with their personal galleries. Been there done that. . .

Guest Bob Reynolds Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 When I told a good friend of mine that Susan and I were going to spend two weeks in Duluth, he replied, "Two weeks? In Duluth? But why?" This writeup should answer his questions:) Once again, my photos are at http://community.webshots.com/user/babyboomerbob . CLOQUET Since neither of us was particularly enchanted by the motel we had reserved, we spent the first day in the area relocating. We finally chose an AmericInn in Cloquet, which proved to be a good choice. Admittedly, it was a chain, but we both like our creature comforts and the free wireless net access proved to be irresistable. Another point in its favor, the local band of the Ojibwe nation had just opened a new gas station and set off a gas war. The gas prices were no more than we were paying at home. Cloquet itself proved to be a pleasant town, away from the city traffic. Old 61 ran somewhere in this area, but I wasn't able to figure out just where. I do consider the main drag of Cloquet to be a prime contender. <Cloquet 01> Needless to say, our first stop was the famous Phillips 66 gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It's still an active station and in great shape. <FLW Gas Station 01, 02> Bars and taverns are more numerous and prominent in the north country than down in Tennessee and the signs are much more imaginative. This was my favorite in Cloquet:) <Bar 02> Elsewhere, there were plenty of murals on ths walls of the stores and banks. <Cloquet 02, 03> Seeing a fire hydrant with a long red and white striped rod attached to it brought home the fact that snow is a force to be reckoned with here. Presumably the rod is to help the firemen find the hydrant when it's buried in a drift. <Cloquet 04> And finally, a sign showing even the gas stations have a sense of humor:) <Cloquet 05> We tried to recapture the magic of Rudy's Drive-in (Lacrosse) by eating at Gordy's High Hat Restaurant.<Gordy's 01, 02> Now the food was delicious and the service was fine. But they were about to close down for the winter and the place was terribly crowded! As much as we dislike crowds, That *was* a sign of a good eatery:) Just east of Cloquet we found a piece of old 61 and followed it nearly to Duluth. In fact, we found two:) <Old 61 04> Interesting signage:) Jack is parked on the older of the two pieces. CANAL PARK & MINNESOTA POINT Minnesota Point, America's longest freshwater land spit, juts out from Duluth and, together with Wisconsin Point over in Superior, separates Lake Superior from Duluth Harbor. In the 1880's a canal was cut across the spit to allow shipping traffic a shorter route to the docks. Crossing this canal is Duluth's most famous icon, the Aerial Lift Bridge. <Aerial Bridge 01-03> The most unusual thing about this bridge is it began in 1904 as an aerial *ferry*. There was no roadbed. A gondola suspended from the upper truss carried traffic over the canal. The bridge could hold pedestrians, wagons, and even a streetcar. It was rebuilt into its present form in 1929. A picture of the old aerial ferry can be found at http://www.vintageviews.org/vv-3/bridges/p.../bdg07_002.html We drove to the end of Minnesota Point where we found a nice little park with, among other things, a playground with a wooden ore boat for the kids to play on:) <Minnesota Point> On the Duluth side of the bridge, a tourist area has been built featuring restaurants, an IMAX theater, a tour of an ore boat and plenty of shops. Sculptures and fountains of all sorts are scattered around the area <Art 01, 02> as are the omnipresent bars:) <Bar 03> A pedestrian drawbridge links the IMAX theater and the main part of the park. <Drawbridge> Starting at Canal Park and running about 2 1/2 miles along the shore is the Lakefront Walk <Lakefront Walk> There are outdoor stairs that give walkers access to some of the fancier restaurants at the top of the bluff. In this picture you can see two different pavements of the trail. Asphalt for the bicyclers and wood for the walkers. SKYLINE DRIVE/SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD The good folks of Duluth are justly proud of the views of their city from the Sawtooth Mountains behind town and built a road along the crest to show them off. Skyline Drive has been around since the 1880's and, sadly, some stretches look that old. On the east side of town there is a section that runs along the Lester River that is known as Seven Bridges Road. I sincerely doubt this was the road the Eagles were singing about, but it's still a neat place. Or will be once the road work is finished. <Skyline Drive 01> shows one of the three bridges we were able to see before we were forced to turn around because of construction:( We wound up continuing downriver to the North Shore Highway where I took a picture of the mouth of the Lester River from under the bridge. <Skyline Drive 02> Some of the other views I shot from Skyline Drive are the Blatnik Bridge (US 53) crossing Duluth Harbor <Skyline Drive 03>, Minnesota Point <Skyline Drive 05>, and the ore docks <Skyline Drive 04>. The docks are *immense!* Whole train loads of ore are pushed onto them so they can dump their ore directly into the ore boats. At one overlook, a fellow tourist was nice enough to take a picture of the two of us together <Bob & Susan>. One of the high points was Enger Park with it's big stone tower <Enger Tower>. From the top I managed to get a good picture of an ore boat going through the canal, with the bridge fully lifted <Aerial Bridge 04>. <Skyline Drive 06> is another view, looking up the shore at the east side of town. <Skyline Drive 07> shows that someone had figired out how to get maximum deck space out a minimum of a house:) Finally, there's the westernmost stretch which winds around Spirit Mountain and it's ski resort. Much of it remains unpaved and gives a good view of Duluth Harbor and the St. Louis River. <Skyline Drive 08> DULUTH DEPOT Susan and I rarely pass up the opportunity to see train museums and this one was a dandy. We loved the display of the different types of locomotive snow plows both the old fashioned ones and the modern rotary models <Depot 01-03>. I loved the old railgoing track insoector's car <Depot 04>. I don't recognize the make, but I *think* it's an Oldsmobile. I need some enlightment here:) Perhaps the most unique display here is the McGiffert Log Loader <Depot 05, 06>. It was designed to load logs onto flat cars. It could move along the rails on its own power, or be towed. Once in place, it retracted its wheels, sitting on skids on either side of the track. Flat cars could be moved under it and a whole train could be loaded, one car at a time. Afterward, it would bring its wheels down and be on its way. This is one of only three still in existance, the other two are in a museum in Portland, Oregon. The upper floors of the depot had other sorts of local exhibits. The room for immigrants waiting to be processed has been preserved <Depot 07>, along with plentious other stuff, including some quite fancy hand carved furniture <Depot 08>. Getting a picture of the outside was quite difficult because of the lack of a good vantage point. I settled for a picture of the upper facade <Depot 09>. ST. LOUIS RIVER One afternoon, we took a slightly different route back to Cloquet, leaving Duluth on State Road 23, then cutting west on SR 210. We stopped to check out an old camel back bridge across the St. Louis River <St Louis River 01> and I decided to walk around and chcek the river out. There were plenty of rapids <St. Louis River 04>, plus an old railroad bridge that now carries hikers and snowmobiles <St. Louis River 02, 03>. Quite nice, and a total surprise:) Ok, that's enough for now. Next time, the Northshore Highway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend cruising on Pennsylvania Avenue where there are alot of businesses and, therefore, alot of parking garages. Check switchboard.com and type in "Parking" and "Washington, D.C." They'll have tons of listings and also map links as well. FYI, during the week, you can pay anywhere from $10-$15 for anything over 2 hours in a garage. It may be different on the weekends. I hope this helps. Enjoy your trip to the museum!!!! I live here and haven't been in years -- isn't that always the way?

Parking I'm going to be traveling to Connecticut this week, and on my way back, I'd like to visit the Smithsonian. I'm leaving Friday at 3:00 and won't have Internet access after that, so any advice would be most appreciated!! I am totally unfamilar with Washington D.C. and would like to know what's the best way to acess the Smithsonian American History Museum. I have a map, so I'm sure I could find it; my question is about availability of parking in the area. All I could find was that there are alot of parking meters in the area but they go fast, so be there by 10:00, when the museums open. I won't be there probably until 12:00 or 1:00 on a Saturday afternoon. Is there paid parking nearby? Or should I go to a suburb and take a train in? (I don't really want to do that because I only have about 4 -5 hours to spend at the museum and want to hit a few highlights). I don't mind if I have to park in a parking garage and pay a fee as long as it's not too far from the museum, but I can't find any list of parking garages! Or is there another area in the city I can park and then take a cab there? I'm clueless, but I really want to visit the museum! Thanks!
