Cool place Tulsa, Oklahoma. Found the best Wholefood supermarket EVA on the continent. Spent a million dollars there. This is where we connected to our Route 66 west heading to Vegas. Check the pics...such history & glamour in travelling this route. Specially if you did it on a Harley! They do love their Harley's in this country! We did the original Route 66 from Tulsa to Oklahoma City, lots of awesome memorabilia places along the way, then it tends to break up & get caught up in the interstate, which is a horrific experience of driving in its worst extreme. Some great historic places along the way but lots of forgettable places too.... read more

Just like any other morning. I went to McDonalds for a sausage biscuit then started my long drive to Israel. Felt good to see all the same people at the coffee shop before I entered an unknown space. There was about two inches of snow on the ground in Independence, so I was not sure what to expect as I headed south. However, the roads became clearer as I went south and there is no snow at all in Tulsa. I hope that bodes well for the weather back East. I leave at noon for a three hour flight to Washington D.C., on a small jet. Arrive at Dulles International at 4 pm then on to JFK in NY at 5:30 pm arriving about 7 pm. They want us at the international terminal by 8:30 pm, ... read more

This morning the plan was to start driving west before the middle of the day. The last two days it has been after one o'clock before we have really been underway!! So, we thought that we would have a quick drive into the Historic Square downtown take a couple of quick photos, drive past Boots Motel for a photo and then spend half an hour having one last look for Red Oak II. That was the plan! We made a good start and took a couple of quick photos in the Historic Square and then we drove around the corner to the classic art-deco Boots Motel. We took a couple of quick photos there too and we were ready to head off when Ron came out and asked if we would like a look around. Ron ... read more

We woke up later than we expected this morning -- about 7:30. We didn't want to set the alarm because we were so tired last night. We got up and hit the road right away. A couple of hours into the trip we went through Joplin, Missouri, where the F5 tornado hit 3 days earlier. We stopped in the town to fuel up. The hotel parking lots were full of displaced residents, and people in the mini-mart were talking about what they were doing to try to salvage some belongings. The streets were busy with utility company trucks and clean-up crews working to get the city put back together. The skies were overcast and we hit occasional light rain on the way home, but nothing bad. Kevin likes driving when it's cloudy because it's cooler and ... read more
