The Coolest Route 66 Photo Tour

This looks really cool!

Not sure what exactly you are trying to do here but I think Oatman AZ should be included on anything that says Route 66 Tour.

Assuming the producers, such as yourself deem it appropriate.

WOW! I just took the tour through you Route 66 galleries...

Fantastic stuff!!

Thanks Floyd

Not sure what you mean Floyd? I teach this workshop tour in Illinois. Do you mean as a keyword

Any suggestions ?

Kevin,

Excellent concept for teaching.

I noticed you are taking the curtains down on your profile. Interesting developments.

This tour is something I miss about America. I have not seen a lot of the states. Route 66 might be some of the very best of what is out there to see. Definitely the great American experience.

Suggestion: I only read the $195 per car paragraph. Personally I would try not to use the word cool more than once throughout. I would also take out the word whatever. Bring bowser or the mutt would be good. Perhaps.

You certainly know more about drumming up business than most.

I have not heard back from the Starbucks manager yet. I will possibly see her in the next few days. I hope she simply forwarded the whole thing to her bosses. That would be good.

Dave

Good suggestions Dave, I will add pets.

I was thinking that this was going to be a photo tour, not an actual driving tour.

I was suggesting that one of the best stops and photo ops on Route 66 is Oatman AZ for photos.

An actual driving trip starting in Ill. is not really doable unless it is a one or two week tour.

Okay, this is a photo tour - workshop that is 4 hours long in Illinois on historic Route 66. Many old places still here in the area. I may at some point do a workshop that covers the whole Route 66 from Chicago to Cal, but not at this time. I do these photo workshops on Sat and Sundays in my area.

And if I was anywhere near you I would sign up and tag along!

This is really cool stuff!

I drove Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles twice. Once in 1965 and once a few years later, in the early 70's. As much of it that still survived.

In '65, an Air Force buddy of mine drove a 1953 Ford Crown Victorian the entire route. We actually started in Indianapolis, drove to Chicago and picked up Route 66.

In the '70s my wife and I drove a campervan from Santa Maria to Los Angeles and retraced the route back to Chicago. I did it because I wanted to say I made the cross-country round trip on Rute 66.

A great part of American history!

Really cool that you are doing this!

Wow Floyd, I hope you took pics back then. That would be a great memory

I lost all of the pics when I put my stuff in storage when I went to Australia. I stored my stuff with the same buddy, in his garage. While I was gone his house and the garage and all of my (and his) worldly possessions were lost.

That was the second time in about a four year period of time I had lost everything I owned in a fire.

Oh wow, that is a real shame

I've traveled a bit of route 66 - Nostalgia is the only thing it has going for it. Certainly gone are the 'glory' days.

Nostalgia for sure, which is one of the reasons lots of people including myself, love it. It also has abandoned places and many hidden gems they dont show in mags and brochures. Vintage, nastalgic, historic, retro, eclectic and antique are definitely in abundance.

Cool - maybe I'll get there some day. Gotta get my kicks!

Even cooler would be to get an old vintage bus and give tours in that. A guy in the Finger Lakes has an old hippy van that he uses to give tours of the vineyards.

Sounds cool Edward, I drive myself and charge my clients by the car, not per person. This way they can take the whole family and even pets if they want.
