route 66 the plan

[eaglenest66]

Tom, did you pass through the Des Moines area today?

 

[Bronco Junkie]

Totally cool. Can't wait for more updates.

 

[Rox Crusher]

left Kirksville wed morning headed to Rolla MO and hooked up with route 66. Drove the 66 bypass for a while and called it quits at Lebanon MO. spent the night in a cabin in a campground outside of down. Truck is running fine. A 66 roadster is not what you want if you are in a hurry. We spend 20 minutes or more talking to people about Broncos every time we stop for gas or food. Everyone has a brother, uncle, or friend who had one. I then have to explain why I don't have any doors. Going to start down the route 66 by pass this morning and see where we end up. we try to start early in the morning because it gets so hot quickly. 95 wed , and the same today. having trouble with pics and wi fi is weak

This would be a great adventure for anyone! I did see in one of the specific Bronco facebook pages that someone ran across you possibly yesterday. They had pictures and everything.

Left clear lake Iowa this morning and made it to Kirksville MO. About 340 miles today. As for the 70mph speed limit I do 55-60 if they don't like it they can pass me. The guy at the campground even gave me a portable garage to use for the night. He said it was too nice to park outside. I will post some pics tomorrow, barely have cell service now

That's awesome and I hope you have safe trip!

How many remember the '50s Rt. 66 show with two guys in a Vette traveling between Chicago and LA, and their adventures along the way?...

Still one of my all-time favorite show theme songs from that era. Which is where most of my favorites are anyway!

Always thought it was kind of strange/cool that they kept getting newer and newer model 'Vette's as they traveled along.

left Lebanon MO this morning and headed out for the day stopped in a small museum about the history of the building of rt.66. headed out of Mo and into the short 14 miles of KA .arrived in OK this afternoon and had lunch at the Klanton café an oldie from the early 66 days. stopped for the day in Vinita OK, the heat was too much 97 deg. with a heat index of 112. towards the end of the day my oil pressure was dropping some, down to about 25. I stopped to check the oil level an just about burned my hand when I grabbed the dip stick ( it is right next to the exhaust manifold ) it was only a 1/2 quart low if that. I think the oil was just too hot. after it sat for a while it did go up. the picture of the t-shirt is a present from my daughter and grand kids for fathers day. I have only seen one classic bronco on the trip so far and that was in Joplin MO, the guy waved. Today we have officially logged 1000 miles.

more to come

Been pretty humid even on my side of the state, NE OK is humid for sure. Give me a shout if you stop in western or central OK tomorrow. Be sure to see the round barn and stop at Pop's when coming through the Edmond area.

Nw of Enid, Ok. About an hour and a half from Okc or Weatherford. Supposed to be a little cooler and more clouds today.

Hope you didn't miss the rainbow bridge just outside of Riverton.
That is about all we have to offer in the way of Route 66 here in Kansastan.
