I'm finally heading "solo" to the northwest US, starting with stops in PA and along parts of Route 66 ... a LONG haul in ~2 weeks! If you're interested in meeting up along the way, please let me know ... it is always cool to meet new people and see old friends. My regrets include... ...no time to stop at RT 66 places in Arizona & southern California, and ...not enough time to spend in the northwest US. HOWEVER: I can always return to those and other areas in future years ... and I have great memories of the northwest US during family road trips in 1985 and 1991 (3 pics below)....
