Just took a short trip from Tulsa Oklahoma to Galena Kansas. The Food Market in Riverton Kansas has great sandwiches for a reasonable price and a gift shop. Had a chance to visit the museum in Galena Kansas. Fun little place to visit. It’s free and small gift shop. Gearhead Curios in Galena Kansas has a new Giant. Aaron is so fun to talk to. Lots a Route 66 gifts and a bathroom you can’t miss seeing. Fully operational but nothing you have seen before or will see again. Gift shops and Diners open along the way.

2024 Route 66. Post 2

Saturday evening I set out to make the trip from Houston Texas up to Oklahoma City Oklahoma to start my current Route 66 trip from here.

I drive through 20 minutes of severe thunderstorms before finally making the hotel for the night. A bit scary watching lightning strikes in front of you and then hearing the next morning the area you had just passed through the night before had a tornado that leveled several buildings and killed several people. Definitely thanking God for watching over me and pray for those people.

This trip Route 66 starts in El Reno Oklahoma. Stops in Weatherford, Oklahoma, Texola, Shamrock, McLean, Adrian, Mid Point, Amarillo, Texas and finally nights stay in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

2024 Route 66 Trip. This trip has benn in the planning for a very long time. Taking some time to get off the Interstate and see some of the still existing parts of Route 66. This will be posted in parts as there are many photos.

Post 1 2024

The 8 mile drive from Cool Springs to Oatman, Arizona is beautiful and majestic itf you dare to look , however, looking at the scenery is not recommended. This drive is not for the faint of heart and definitely not for large vehicles.

191 curves/turns in 8 miles up and down the side of the mountain. When my GPS said it would take 45 minutes, I thought this can’t be right. Well it was right. Some turns you don’t dare go more than 10 mph. Some turns you can’t see if someone may be headed towards you. Some areas the road is very narrow and one small slip could cause you to go way down a steep cliff.

There is plenty to drink when you reach Oatman and you will deserve a celebratory drink. But save it for after you’ve completed the stretch of Route 66.

One lady at a store told me that back in the mining days the miners would get supplies from Kingman. The miners would hitch up the burros to their wagon and head to Kingman. It could take 4 days to get there with an empty wagon. The trip home with a loaded wagon could take 8-9 days. So be patient. Your trip will be shorter than theirs.

Remember to enjoy all the twists and turns of this wonderful and historic highway.
