Guest Ken Turmel Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hi Shellee, You may have already considered this idea, but what about including the statehood day for all eight states? Arizona would be one of those "teen" dates that you're looking for, landing on Valentine Day. (Kinda symbolic considering Valentine is a town along 66 in Arizona).

Guest Bakerhab@aol.com Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hi Shellee, I've heard many Route 66 historians tell me that they're not 'car guys,' and that 'car guys' aren't interested in Route 66, but without a road, why a car? and without a car, why a road? So here are some car related dates. I don't know how many listers know that Route 66 and Pontiac share the same birthday year. They are both turning 80 in 2006. The other car dates are for cars that would be my car of choice for a cool Route 66 cruise. Helen Baker January 9, 1926 - Pontiac Introduced at New York Auto Show July 14, 1953 - Corvette Introduced September 9, 1954 - First Production Thunderbird Completed April 17, 1964 - Ford Mustang Introduced January 27, 1965 - Shelby-Mustang Introduced --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, Shellee Graham <SHELLEE66@E...> wrote: > Howdy folks, > > How'y'all doing today?

Guest Denny Gibson Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 A weekend outing along two of Ohio's Scenic Byways has just been posted at: http://www.dennygibson.com/oh66plus Since I started an "opt-in" mailing list for this sort of message, I have dropped bulk mailings to folks that I only "guessed" would be interested. But, I've decided that this group might be an exception since new members just keep showing up.

Guest K L Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I enjoy the tidbits of the old bridges although i have never crossed one. I am homeschooling my son for the first time he is in the 5th grade and i thought maybe you guys could recommend some educational learning tools that is found on the internet. There are tons of information out there but i get lost and just dont find the good ones so i thought maybe you might have found one and enjoy. Thanks for your time.

Guest JanNitz Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 They moved the McDonalds from Henderson across the bridge to Point Pleasant...they put a new bridge in right their and the McDonalds was in the way so it had to be torn down and rebuilt. Nice to meet you... Jan Hey thanks Jandara! I always wondered what happened at that site! When the Mothman Prophecies came out, The cities named turned a light on upstairs (so to say) & this bridge site came to mind. It had me wondering if this was indeed the site. I always had a strange feeling about this bridge site when ever I looked at it as I had passed by. I never could figure out why, Until now! Thanks for your enlightenment about this! When I was in a hurry, I use to stop by the McDonalds at Henderson Wv. on 35 to get something to eat for on the go! Boy!............What a small world this is!

Guest JanNitz Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 At the roadside rest in Gallipolis Ohio they have a piece on display which is the same piece that broke causing the bridge to fall... it was a huge metal bolt type thing... can't remember what it was called though.... theirs a plaque telling about it and what they believe happened to cause it to fall.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 The 2005 version of the San Bernardino Rendezvous happens in a few days and this year it forms the backgrpound for the Route 66 Federation gathering and Steinbeck awards. I am now officially on my way via parts of Route 66 and some Arizona attractions. The first day consisted of flying to Phoenix then driving to Jerome, AZ. It has been posted at www.dennygibson.com/rt66fest05 and the rest of the trip will follow. Some historic (i.e., rustic) accommodations are being used so internet access will be spotty.

Guest rwarn17588 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I was going to hold off on this until I had more material, but it's ready now. I've started a Weblog that aims to be a clearinghouse of news related to Route 66, called Route 66 News. The URL is www.route66news.org. You can surf over there now and read new items, including an article about the 10th anniversary of the California Route 66 Association and a terrific post from The Fat Man Walking site. I plan to post new material there daily. But this is not only my Web site, but yours. If any of you out there on the e-group have something going on, like an event coming up, a neat experience or important news about a business or attraction on the road, contact me. News tips also are appreciated. You also can comment on the stories posted on the site. I'm moderating each comment to filter out spam, but I promise I'll try to deal with your comments or questions promptly. Also, if you have a link that's not already on the big links list, let me know. If it pertains to 66, I'll put it on. More will be coming this week on the El Vado situation, as soon as I track down more information. Thanks for your help in advance.

Guest Pankaj Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 All, Thanks for the valuable input. I decided to take the Kancamagus Scenic route. It is a visually stunning 34mile drive through the valley. I did a complete loop till Conway and came back through the valley. While going to White mountains, I had a stopover at Woburn, MA. From Woburn, I took Rte 95N to 93N. The only issue was some rain and lot of fog. I missed out on some of the fall visuals from the scenic overlooks because the fog covered the mountains. Overall it was a great experience. I will try and post some of the pics in the photos section soon. - Pankaj --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, Alex Burr <hester_nec@y...> wrote: > > Kancamagus Highway between Conway and North Woodstock > is a beautiful drive - coming from the south take I-95 > to Portsmouth, then Route 16 north to Conway. > > In North Woodstock, just one attraction that's well > worth the stop is Clarks Trading Post - > http://www.clarkstradingpost.com/ > > Happy Traveling. > > Hudsonly, > Alex B > > > --- Pankaj <akaylaek@y...> wrote: > > > > > Anyone has any info on the nice/ scenic drives > > around White Mountains > > in New Hampshire?

Guest lonehichillbilly@aol.com Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Kevin, I really enjoyed the pics of Maysville. My wife's brother lives near Maysville, so we sometimes go up there to visit. I like the area, and especially like to camp just across the river in Ohio, straight across from that wall. We usually go there for the 4th of July, when they have the fireworks on the river. We like to go out on his pontoon boat, and watch the fireworks from the river. The river gets really crowded at that time, don't it?...LOL. Thanks for the pics, and you have a good day. Jim N. Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kevin C. Redden Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hi folks: Since the price of gas blew my budget, and my car really can't make long trips due to problems, I've been walking around Maysville, and Mason Co., Ky. in search of 'roadie' things. I hit on ghost signs (Wall dogs) and got a nice collection of ones in Maysville, and Augusta, Ky. I've posted my first set, of Maysville's wall dogs on the local BBS gallery. I've enhanced all of them to bring out details. Since I just uploaded them, they may be moved around, so go here: http://www.maysvillekybbs.com/gallery/search.php?c=8 and type in 'ghostsigns' or 'walldogs' to dig them up. If you still have problems, e-mail me, or drop me a note here and I'll see if I can help. I'm going to be writing up an article on general wall-dogs to go with these photos. I'll post it here, when It's written. - Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John W Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Kevin, great idea.

Guest timsteil Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hey Ron: Congrats on a great looking site. Looks like it is going to be a great resource for folks who want to know what is going on on Route 66 these days, as well as a nice forum. Updated daily? I think the last time I saw my website was in July. I'll add a link to you once I get in there and start messing under the hood. ts - In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "rwarn17588" <rwarn17588@y...> wrote: > > I was going to hold off on this until I had more material, but it's > ready now. > > I've started a Weblog that aims to be a clearinghouse of news related > to Route 66, called Route 66 News.

Guest Rudyard Welborn Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hello: I would like to submit an article for publication in your magazine. It is an article on the Arch on the Missouri Arkansas border on Highway 61 (there's a pic of it in Tim Steil's book on highway 61). I have a few pics to add, historical and otherwise. Let me know where to send it and what you need. Thanks, Kip Welborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pat B. Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 As promised earlier this year, the Drake Motel on US 40 in Indianapolis came down this week, much to the joy of the Mayor of Indianapolis: http://www.indygov.org/pr/20051109a.htm The tone of the press release portrays what the Drake has been recently, and not what it once was 40 & 50 years ago. And with its demise and the addition of another retail strip plaza to the landscape, this country just got a little more generic. http://roadtripmemories.com/roadmaven/timeframes/drake.htm Pat B.
