Guest Alex Burr Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Seems to me I've seen that somewhere else - maybe Ohio, maybe somewhere in New England. Can't remeber off-hand at the moment. Yeah, TN IS a great place to go cruising on the back roads during a holiday season in the winter. Here in Memphis today it's absolutely beautiful outside - sun shining, warm. Sure do beat New England by a country mile.

Guest sundayjohn66@aol.com Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 >What day and time you will arrive, where you are staying and have you made any appointments with your legislative leaders staffs? Is there a master schedule somewhere for these appointments that are already set up? It's hard to make an appointment if we don't know if it's going to conflict with another one that's already been set. What times and dates have you set up meetings with other people? I know it sounds good to have each of us call our congressmen and set up appointments to meet with them, but that smells like a recipe for disaster. Better plan: Assign one person to be the point man for this. Give him the master schedule for all the meetings that are already set. Then have everybody contact their congressmen and get a phone number the point man can call to set up an appointment for our delegation to meet with that representative. Point man should of course drop the constituent's name during the conversation to make sure the representative understands that this is going to be worth his time. This way, we have one person with one schedule setting up all the appointments and making sure there are no scheduling conflicts. This will allow all of us to go, en masse, to each office instead of scattering our shot ... yet we'll still have the advantage of making sure our congressmen are being lobbied by the people who actually vote in their districts and not just a bunch of strangers with some cause they've never heard of. Then when we go visit Jim's congressman, Jim is the lead talker, and the rest of us are there to show solidarity and maybe throw in our two cents' worth if the congressman has questions Jim can't answer. When we go visit Crocodile's congressman, we all show up, but Crocodile is the lead talker. When we visit Guy's congressman, Guy is the lead talker. You get the idea. This way, we've got our congressional representatives being lobbied *primarily* by their own constituents, but nobody has to go it alone, and we all get the benefit of the strength-in-numbers thing. Does that make sense? I would also personally like to see a detailed itinerary for the entire trip so I can plan for it. The plans have already changed two or three times since we first started talking about this, and I have had to rearrange my work schedule based on things I thought were going to happen and later found out weren't. Before I buy a plane ticket, I need to know what time and day everybody is supposed to arrive in D.C., how many changes of clothes and what types of outfits I should bring (I realize that's a very "girly" sort of concern, but I already bristle at the idea of security schmucks pawing through my suitcase and copping free feels as I go through the checkpoints, and I would like to streamline this process as much as possible) and how much cash I need to have on hand for stuff like cab rides, meals (read: are we eating upscale, diner, or Mickey D's, and how many of each sort of meal are we having?) drinks, entertainment (are we wining and dining the politicians, hanging out in a bar somewhere, or just sitting in our rooms watching TV?) and whatever else this trip is going to involve. I'm sorry to be so anal about this, but as hard as I try, I simply am not a Type B personality and cannot kick back and let it all hang out and wait to see what happens next. My schedule and my finances are both too tight to allow me the luxury of last-minute flexibility. I need details before I make any more plans for this trip.

Guest Chetnichols@aol.com Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Okay Gang, Here's a new one on me. I met with a fellow today who used to travel the Old Road back in the 60's. He told me a story that went like this....."KIngman, AZ was very concerned about the interstate bye-passing the town, because it had seen the hardship it was causing other towns along the road. So, it changed it's name to Poke-A-Dot City and painted dots on everything. Either my laeg has been successfully pulled....or....is there any truth to this malicious tale?

Guest Ken Turmel Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Emily, You're suggestions aren't anal. In fact, I feel the same way about all the points you've made. Without some sort of further organization, it's very difficult to plan for, to prepare for, to budget for, and have a "lasting impression" itinerary that will make a success of this trip. In fact, you brought up cab fares...gee, I never thought of budgeting that! I'm still trying to figure out if this trip is even financially feasible for some.

Guest jjgrant@webtv.net Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 There are several concrete sections of the original alignment of US 40 west of Indy that are driveable. Also, west of Terre Haute you can plainly see the brick paving of the original alignment. Some sections are still used for access to driveways.

Guest Pat B. Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Greetings all! It was brought to my attention by a higher authority that I hadn't been seen in a while. After looking back through the archives, he's right! Mrs. Moderator & I had a very productive trip out west over New Year's weekend. A good friend of mine unearthed some vintage roadtrip pictures from the late 1940's that his parents had taken with his grandparents. My main goal was to hunt down a certain Mobil station in Adrian, TX on Route 66. After a little bit of detective work, we found the station in question. Here's a link on our website from that weekend's trip: http://roadtripmemories.com/trips/oktx2005.htm Be sure to click on the link next to the Adrian gas station pic for another "Time Frame", as I like to call them. We've both got some roadtrips planned for 2005, some solo, others joint. We'll be leading a tour of Corvairs in May on a weekend trip along Route 66 in Illinois. Then I'll be going solo out west to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a regional Corvair convention in late June, likely picking up some of the Lincoln Highway along the way. Then in October I'm heading up another Corvair trip to Ypsilanti, Michigan to visit the National Corvair Museum, located within the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum. There'll be plenty of spur of the moment trips in between. Of course, there'll be "scouting" trips for the Illinois 66 trip and for the Ypsilanti trip that'll take place prior to the actual trips. Nothing better than a roadtrip to plan for another roadtrip, eh? Happy Corvairing! Pat B. AR Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jerrymc66 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Dave Said: When was the last time you as in any of you drove on some actual pavement from the 1920s, I would like to hear the particulars. Dave, There's still quite a network of one-lane concrete slab roads around Corsicana..most, if not all, poured in the twenties! One section passes a couple of blocks behind my studio. Some has been wedded to (bad) asphalt in the city limits, while most of the county sections are still only one lane of pavement with accompanying dirt/gravel, or even just a narrow, grassy shoulder. All of these slabs are on the lane leading into Corsicana (for the farmers to bring in their loads of produce?) I've been photographing and documenting them..maybe for an American Road article some day. Jerry Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
