And what a beautifully restored old diner it is! <br /><br />Thanks for so many memorable pictures.Vickie Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935525489196514927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-66454692498984858402014-08-05T10:42:38.416-07:002014-08-05T10:42:38.416-07:00I'm happy to have played a small role in remin...I'm happy to have played a small role in reminding you of fun times along Route 66!<br /><br />Part of the goal of this blog is to help people recall their fond travel memories, or to inspire them to create new ones.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-56916112960960329322014-08-05T08:08:35.833-07:002014-08-05T08:08:35.833-07:00Once again your post and photographs have helped m...Once again your post and photographs have helped me recapture an experience I had a few years ago when in New Mexico for a sisters' reunion. What fun, but then I've always been susceptible to the romance of Route 66.

I'm glad this post enabled you to recall fond childhood memories.<br /><br />Also I'm impressed that you and your wife program your GPS to avoid major highways—I don't have a GPS and didn't realize that was an option. Nice!<br /><br />As always, John, I appreciate your comments.

Your posting was very enjoyable on many ...Hi Rita,<br /><br />Your posting was very enjoyable on many different levels. <br /><br />In the 1950s and early 1960s, my Dad ran a lunch counter/soda fountain very reminiscent of the "66 Diner". And so, that aspect of your report conjured up some fond memories. <br /><br />Regarding your encouragement to "get your kicks by leaving the interstate and rediscovering America's scenic byways", my wife do this quite frequently. We program our GPS to avoid major highways when taking us to our destination. We have found that this is a much more enjoyable way to travel, and in many cases, it doesn't really take than much longer in the grand scheme of things.<br /><br />And lastly, I love the video clip and the fine selection of photos that you included in your report.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
