The Sept 2006 journey of Connie and David down Historic Route 66 from Chicago, and into Texas, the southwest, and perhaps beyond. Scroll down to see the earlier entries. And to "archives" to see the ones that are even older! We hope to post a note and perhaps a photo every day or so, depending in part on internet access. You also can leave us (and others) a note by clicking on the "comments" icon.

A couple more photos from Friday
Water hazard. We went through, but one car turned around.
I could be described as a "wandering scholar," or a "scholarly wanderer." In recent years, my main interest has been travel: generally road trips, taking plenty of time, following the older, more scenic and historic highways and by-ways, stopping at the drive-ins and diners along the way. But, before I retired in 2003, I was a public servant, researcher, writer and teacher for more than 35 years. Now, when at home, I am a social service volunteer and peer counselor. In consequence, I have been a lot of places, met a lot of people, and in particular read an awful lot of books; bought even more; and wrote a few myself, too. From this experience, I have arrived at a few central conclusions or fundamental tenets. This blog is a place to set these down--first briefly, and perhaps later in more detail. It was begun on January 6th, 2010, at which time I was 67 years old.
