May 12, 2015 We travelled in three states today; however, there are only about 15 miles of Route 66 in Kansas and we just crossed over into Missouri. We had three places on the schedule and they were early in the day; the first couple of hours. But right out of the gate we hit Pops… Continue reading Route 66 Day 19 – Edmund, OK to Carthage, MO

May 8 2015 This was an uneventful day. We slept in and dawdled in our Albuquerque hotel until checkout time. That gave be time to get some blog posts up. Last summer we visited Santa Fe with our co-mother-in-law Jeanette and loved it. This trip we’d use it as a base for a trip up… Continue reading Route 66 Day 15 – Albuquerque to Santa Fe
