Guest jim conkle Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Good morning, Just to let you know that the host hotel for this years event in Albuquerque already has over 70 reservations out of a room count of 188. Another one of the hotels is over 50% booked. So the rooms are going fast. We will be putting more information up on the web site but if anyone needs a question answered please let us know. We look forward to seeing all of you in June. www.2006route66festival.com Thanks Jim Conkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest R. Droz Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 How about - Rubbernecking or Gawker's Block? When a highway slows down due to people watching something going on next to the road, like the aftermath of an accident. Ghost Ramps - ramps that seem to connect to nothing, due to unfinished constrution or later interchange revisions Evel Knievel Ramps - a subset of Ghost ramps that involves unfinished bridges that resemble the method the famous daredevil used to launch himself into the air. Lot Lizards - Protitutes who work truck stops and specialize in truckers.

Guest Bob Reynolds Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 There are plenty of references to Lee highway in Tennessee. It followed US 11W from Bristol to Knoxville, then 11 to Chattanooga, then US 72 to Memphis. I think it followed US 70 into Arkansas and Oklahoma, but I lose the thread there. Just west of Knoxville Lee highway split from the Tennessee connector of the Dixie Highway at the teensy town of Dixie-Lee Junction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also visited your Dixie Highway albums and had my curiosity tickled by the pictures of the Lexington "Starting Point" monument (s6450, DH-East, 27/30). Where is this located (street address)? Do you have any other info on the monument? In particular, why a camel?

Guest roaddog_rt66 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 An article in the May 11th Chicago Tribune by Charles Duhigg detailed a fairly new radio station broadcasting in central Arizona that appears to be a throwback to those great days of early, non- market-researched FM radio. It is KCDX-FM at 103.1 broadcasting out of Florence, Arizona and on the web. I haven't heard it, but the article makes me want to listen to it while driving through Arizona this September. The article says they play songs by Huey Lewis to The Buoys. One listener wrote, "If you need donations. contact me, please." Ted Tucker, the owner, who goes by the name "Guru", says he went with the eclectic format as he had to broadcast something or lose his license. He uploaded his personal library. He does own other radio stations that are programmed by consultants. He spends $200,000 a year so he can listen to the music he loves. A sample playlist from last night: 11:37 Sunny Side of Heaven- Fleetwood Mac 11:40 Hollywood Nights- Bob Seger 11:45 Citadel- Rolling Stones 11:48 You Keep Me Hanging On- Vanilla Fudge (evidently, the short version) 11:51 Isn't It Time- Babys You can listen on the web at: www.kcdx.com For the article: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi- 0605110140may11,1,1855645.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adamghost@aol.com Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 The L.A. Times actually ran an article about KCDX two weeks ago...and there's another connection to this list...I was interviewed and mentioned in the article for having stumbled upon and then trying to track down the station while on one of my road trips. It actually was much more eclectic three years ago, when I first ran across it... <<An article in the May 11th Chicago Tribune by Charles Duhigg detailed a fairly new radio station broadcasting in central Arizona that appears to be a throwback to those great days of early, non- market-researched FM radio.

Guest Alex Burr Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thank Parsa, Your URL link, Photo's Along the Lee Highway, enabled me to follow it from DC to the Imperial Valley. Looks to me like U S 29 out of Washington DC, to U S 11 to Chattanooga, then U S 72 to Huntsville, AL, probably thru Corinth and U S 45 to 64 then to Memphis where it picked up 70 west to the Imperial Valley - tho I didn't follow the road maps beyond Arizona. I loved the old picture of the White River Bridge in De Val, Arkansas - I've crossed over that bridge several times over the years. Most recently a year or two back. At that time they were working on a by-pass a bit to the north of the old bridge - it appeared they were using the old railroad right of way for the by-pass. I have a photo of it on the American Road egroup ( http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/AMERICAN_ROAD/ ) - click on Photos, then U S 64, then U S 70 folder. Thanks for the info. Happy Traveling.

Guest Mike Ward Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Steve, I have a 1925 Rand McNally Road Atlas that does show the Lee Highway and its pole marker. Allowing for the fact that road maps of 80 years ago were not all that detailed, it's relatively easy to follow it across the country. If you'd like to me scan and e-mail you the pages that show it let me know. I've also got a few other old map/guide sources that I didn't have time to research last night but I can dig into them this weekend if you're interested.
