Guest jim conkle Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi Russell, Actually any old photos but the groups you mentioned would be worth looking at. Having a personal human interest story or facts/data on the photos adds to their value. We are working on a history of the road here in California. Hi Helen, I have asked Dennis out at Goffs and he is assisting me too. Yes they do have a little collection. HA! HA! Thanks for your response. James M.

Guest Mike Austing Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 If someone has a contact with the Tin Can Caravan, you may wish to forward these pics I took today which are explained below. I don't know if I'm able to post these photos to the group or not; if not, please contact me and let me know how to do so. Mike Austing New Philadelphia, OH Interesting old "Route 40 Cafe" sign and building. This is approx. 5 miles west of New Concord, OH (S-Bridge Park) and 14 miles west of Cambridge, OH on old US 40. It's less than 1/8 mile west of the National Road/Zane Grey Museum. The "log cabin" is the Hickory Creek Family Restaurant, only about 50 feet further west at the entrance to Interstate 70 Exit 164. I hope the caravan has "fair winds" for their journey; I look forward to meeting up with you when you get here. Michael D.

Guest Toshio Koshimizu Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hello, Thank you for providing me with very helpful information. I will drive on US12 from Madison to Eau Claire instead of I94. I also would like to visit "Wisconsin Dells". (I checked its location by the maps I have. And then I check out several website. It should be interesting to visit there.) This time, I will try to drive without motel reservation and looking for vacancy sign of motel or B&B on the road side somewhere on our route.

Guest Toshio Koshimizu Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hello Bill, Thank you for providing me with very helpful information. Last year, we drove on Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. However, we missed northern part of Illinois R66 because we took the route from Chicago to Indianapolis to Springfield. So, we will drive from Springfield to Chicago this time. I believe there are a lot of points of interest on the route and am expecting to see many american clasic cars gathering for Annual Motor Tour at Romeoville on June 11th morning. I will try to drive on US14 from Janesville to Madison.

For the section in Illinois from Springfield to Joliet, you can travel on old route 66 and enjoy many wonderful sites. Go to http://www.il66assoc.org/ For specific sites and information about that section of highway. old route 66 parallels route 55 so it is easy to follow. Also between Janesville and Madison is a little known US highway called US14. This highway runs from Chicago to Yellowstone National Park. Between Janesville and Madison it could be a great American Highway. As it passes through several small towns and it almost parallels I90. It actually may be a shorter route mileage wise between Janesville and Madison. I hope that after your trip, you post some written highlights in the files section that we could read and enjoy. Photos are enjoyable also. -- Images by W.D.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm assuming that there were photo files attached to this message which is something this group just doesn't support. We're all happy about that, of course, since it keeps us from getting a touch of Nyxem-E virus from the group or waiting hours while an unsolicited 42 terabyte TIFF of somebody's dash board is downloaded. But all members can upload pictures to the group's photo section. Just click on the "Photos" link at the left side of the group's home page ( http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/AMERICAN_ROAD/ ). There you will see "Add Photo" and "Create Album" links. A good first step is to create an album to keep your stuff from getting mixed up with other folk's stuff and make it easy to find. Then click a "Browse..." button to find the desired photo on your own disk. Pick one or more, enter names and descriptions as desired, and click "Add Now". You can edit, delete, and add more later so don't worry too much about your first try. Don't be paranoid but do be responsible. Yahoo seems to have gotten smarter about those unreachable "large" copies that the Landrunner & I used to get obnoxious over. It looks like they resize things appropriately and only save what is necessary. But we're all still sharing a limited amount of space which is where that "be responsible" thing comes in. Only post pictures that more than one member is likely to appreciate and remember to remove pictures that have served their purpose. Think dorm refrigerator. Feel free to drop me a note if you think I can help.

Guest Russell S. Rein Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 When I travel I look for Barbeque, pan-fried chicken and regional food. Most Barbeque is at least pretty good, and many have home-made sides and desserts. First drive around the back of the joint and look for a wood pile. If it's real Barbeque wood should be involved. Favorite BBQs include the Hickory Park in Ames, IA http://www.hickorypark-bbq.com/ames.html County Line, Austin, TX http://www.countyline.com/index.asp (Also in Austin - Ironworks & Art's Ribhouse) Johnny Harris, Savannah, GA (perhaps the best sauce) http://www.johnnyharris.com/ LC's, Kansas City http://xrl.us/j2f8 Stamey's, Greensboro, NC http://www.stameys.com/ Lexington No 1, Lexington, NC http://www.hollyeats.com/Lexington.htm Bozo's, Mason, TN http://chefmoz.org/United_States/TN/Mason/Bozo's1066622556.html Pan fried chicken - best in Michigan - Iva's Chicken Dinners, Sterling, MI, other good uns - Stroud's http://www.stroudsrestaurant.com/ & Dodd's Townhouse, Indianapolis. Some of the regional food I always seek includes: * Tenderloin (pork) sandwich - you can't get this in Michigan. The tenderloin "district" includes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. A slice of pork tenderloin is pounded flat so it's about 8 inches in diameter, then breaded and deep fried, served on bun, and garnished with mustard onion pickle. It must hang out all over the bun. Closest tenderloin to Michigan, and maybe the cheapest ($1.25) is at Rudy's in Fremont, OH. Bestest tenderloin ever - at the Midway in Lewisburg, OH - "Midway" between Columbus and Indianapolis on US 40. Don't forget to get a piece of their home-made apple-walnut-carmel pie. http://members.aol.com/midwaymenu/index.htm Runner's up include Tish's - Council Bluffs, and someplace in downtown Greensburg, IN. I would appreciate hearing about other good tenderloin opportunities. * Maid-Rite loose hamburgers - Iowa and Springfield, IL http://www.maid-rite.com/ * Runza sandwiches in Nebraska http://www.runza.com/ * Green chili - west of the Mississippi, try it at the Luxury Diner on W Lincoln Highway in Cheyenne http://www.cheyennenetwork.com/_includes/m...uxury_diner.asp or the Moab Diner in UT http://www.moab-utah.com/diner/ Back-up cuisine that's usually very good - Thai ypsi-slim On Sat, 3 Dec 2005 08:39:04 -0500 "Glenn Wells" <Glenn.Wells@netheaven.com> writes: The annual RoadsideFans holiday "slump" is well underway. (People get busy with the holidays, and the weather in many places isn't good for road trips, anyway) At slow times, I often work on possible additions to the RoadsideFans web site. My latest idea is to compile tips on how to find a good place to eat. All avid road-trippers occasionally find themselves in an unfamiliar town, not knowing where the good places are. It's an inexact science, but I figured a page of suggestions on how to find a good place to eat would help. So, now I turn it over to the rest of you. Is there anything in particular you look for in choosing a place to eat? GW YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "roadsidefans" on the web.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I know exactly where the Midway is. I pass there every month or so and, although I actually preferred a now defunct place across the street, ate breakfast there more than once. But never a tenderloin. "Bestest tenderloin ever", eh? I had no idea. It's an oversight I'll soon correct and I thank you for the info. Now, I may be able to return the favor. About 20 miles north of Lewisburg there is a Maid-Rite in the town of Greenville. It was originally (1934) connected with the Iowa franchiser but they separated a long time back. Sorry, but I don't know the story. The brick building has a few booths and a counter but the drive through accounts for most of the business. Outside walls are covered with chewing gum. Next time you head for Lewisburg, grab US-127 out of Michigan and you can grab a couple of Maid-Rite appetizers on the way. Of course, there's a real good chance that you'll have to wait a little bit in the line of cars that backed up on the street. --Denny > -----Original Message----- > From: Russell S.

Both are good and will eventually get you results. Try, but I'm not guaranteeing results, http://www.state/(two letter postal designation of state).us/ (either travel or tourism, depending on the webmaster). Search http://www.dogpile.com.. Google gives you everything remotely relevant so you wade through lots of stuff. Or use http://lii.org which is the Librarian's Internet Index, and awesome. I can start you off for my adopted hometown with http://www.kenoshahistorycenter.org.. They have a display through May 26 called "AMC's Quest for Speed" you may want to see, even though AMC is famous for Ramblers and Jeeps. Gremlins and Hornets were raced successfully. Kenosha is JUST north of the Illinois-Wisconsin state line and off Lake Michigan (the Circle tour is cool if you've got time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russell S. Rein Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Sorry - about the previous e-mail. I reported spam to spamcop, juno.com and Yahoo, and somehow included American Road by mistake. I am happy to see that Yahoo immediately shut down this Geocities site. I apologize if anyone was offended - my goal was to stop this activity, and I was partially successful. ypsi-slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, some of these may not be strictly roadie or Route 66, but they were part of the language of, not only 66, but everywhere you went. Hudsonly, Alex B --- "R.

Guest Jim Ross Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Greetings All, I want to once again thank everybody for the good advice about dealing with that nasty CoolWebSearch / About Blank bug. Evidently, what can make it so difficult is that it is self-evolving and has numerous variants, not unlike many real life diseases. Interestingly, in corresponding with the folks I had previously bought a sypware program from, they sent me a tool devised by a gentleman named Marcin Klecznski. The tool didn't get the job done, so I wrote him directly, and he sent me the following link, which I would like to share with you. http://www.malwarebytes.biz/forums/index.php?showtopic=385 I spent over a day (I'm on a dial-up), downloading and performing this lengthy regimen, but it worked. All of the downloads were free, though a couple of them are only free trials and will expire. So, if anyone out there is having a real problem with a virus, hijacker, malware, adware, or other spyware, give it a try. I must also report that I had very timely and helpful correspondence with a Microsoft tech, who recommended a similar (though shorter) version of the same process. Apparently Bill Gates is trying to make up lost ground on this issue. Computers: Can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em, either. What a deal! Jim R.

Guest Jim Ross Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 When I first got my driver's license, my daddy taught me to always keep a spare key hidden somewhere on the car's undercarriage. That is one piece of advice I have always followed, and I have never had to call anyone. I have also never had a car stolen because of it. Jim R.

Guest sundayjohn66 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Michael Wallis -- who is up to his teeth in book deadlines at the moment and hasn't had time to get on the eGroups and post this himself -- asked me to pass the following information along to all of you, in case anyone is interested in owning a restaurant on Route 66: "The Masons' former Rt. 66 Rest. is for sale @ $185,000 and that includes the entire property and contents as well as the trademarked rest. name. Great Deal! "The guy to contact in Clinton is Jake Lewis. He is realtor handling the sale. Sorry but I have no contact info. Folks could also contact Pat Smith at the museum and she can get them in touch with Lewis." The museum number is (580) 225-6266.

Guest beckyrepp Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hello, Glad you joined the American Road magazine Yahoo Group. Don't forget to include another popular name for us road enthusiasts is Road Warrior(s). And, another name for the two-lane roads is "blue highways" -- as they are designated in blue on maps. We'd appreciate it if you referenced that you obtained input from the members of the American Road magazine Yahoo Group for your article research.

Guest parsa9 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yes, west of DC it would be US 29 & 211 to New Market in Shenandoah County. However it went east to New York via US-1 from what I see. I was confused about the US 1 in Virginia. That was a bunch of other trails including the Bankhead and Southern National, but not the Lee. Then it was US 11 south to Tennessee. --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, egyptianzipper@a... wrote: > In a message dated 5/25/05 10:28:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > ebayjunkie@b... writes: > There's a Lee Highway in Northern Virginia, I think it's Route 7.

Why do you think it followed US-45 and 64 out of Corinth to Memphis? Why didn't it just follow 72 all the way there? Are the 45 and 64 older roads? The thing that may make me think you're right is how much more populated the northern route is compared to the Mississippi route on the 72.
