Live from the road,

Today we'll split off from the main caravan, and drive to Tucumcari, New Mexico for an authentic Route 66 vintage experience! Don't worry, we'll still be driving with other bugs today. -:|:- 0920 The caravan has embarked for the Rock Cafe in Stroud, OK! We will be testing the weatherproofness (is that a word?) of the camera mount this morning. Some parts of OK received two to five inches of rain last night and it is, in fact, still raining in Tulsa. There are now seventeen bugs in the caravan. -:|:- 1030 We have arrived at the Rock Cafe in Stroud, OK. -:|:- 1220 The caravan has departed the Rock Cafe. By all accounts, lunch was good and did not pretend to be something that it was not. It was standard roadside American fare, and it was excellent. The caravan is enroute to points west, destination unknown. -:|:- 1250 Another pod joined the convoy at the last major intersection. There are now eighteen bugs in the caravan. -:|:- 1305 For some reason, the entire caravan just did a complete u-turn in the middle of Route 66. -:|:- 1340 Our "destination unknown" was the principle domicile of Mr. John Hargrove, who has devoted a substantial amount of time and effort to redecorating the interior of his house in memory of the Route 66 that was. Reading about the reconstruction, without context, is like looking at a picture without understanding anything about the person who thought what they were seeing was worth capturing on film. Mr. Hargrove participated in a 100-mile run in 2006, at the age of 62. He averaged a little over four miles per hour, over 26 hours. This does not explain his affection for the Route 66 that was. -:|:- 1345 The Round Barn. Many pictures were taken. Posted by lisa at June 27, 2007 12:01 AM CommentsHey Lisa!
