My son & I have just spent 3 weeks and over 3,000 miles driving the mother road but from LA to Chicago as it was early in the season.

My wife joined till Flagstaff AZ.

Here we are at the start in Santa Monica CA.




On Rodeo drive in Beverly Hills we saw this poor shop owners car.

Here we stopped at Ludlow on the way to Las Vegas. The black Chevy SUV was the hire car for this partas we were 3.
[/The bikers at the diner had an Indian

Vegas was kitsch to put it mildly but the state parks around it were stunning. Not a bad hotel room view.

One of the parks near Vegas

In Vegas we got the Mustang. A 4 cyclinder 2.3 l version, an excellent car.


The Grand Canyon. Photos don't do it justice.


The Stang had a friend at the Canyon rim


Signage in Flagstaff AZ


Standing on that corner in Winslow AZ



Typical signage in AZ !


The Stang at the famous Wigwam Motel in Holbrook AZ.


Santa Fe & an old Mustang


Typical economic devastation by the side of route 66 in AZ


Go on straight for a while! Heading for Amarillo.


Half way in Adrian Texas.

The Cadillac Ranch in Texas


Food Texan style in Amarillo (yes we know the way). If you eat the 72 oz steak dinner in under 1 hr it is free. The lady in the photo ate 3 in succession in one day in 20 mins!!


Limos Texan style


A sign for gladdening the heart of all TMers

I think this car is lost in Branson MO.


Stang at the route 66 museum near St Louis

Wonderful selection John. Many thanks , that has given us a real flavour of your trip.

Is 3 weeks enough time , or would you have ideally liked more?

Andy,
you could spend far more but after 3 weeks I was ready for going home.

There is really so much to do & AZ really blew my mind the geology is amazing. If your planning something PM me and we can talk it over.

Looks a great trip John.
Thanks for sharing all the photos. Love the Mustang in the museum - colour is close to an Aero8 seen at the factory on Tuesday smile

Yep one off the bucket list including the helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon.

Sam has just got his PhD in Classics from Exeter & as I now work 3 days a week we went for it & celebrated success.

Hopefully he will get a job soon, we went before the main season so he can go to interviews.
