We didn't see a girl (my lord) in a flatbed Ford.

We did see a Dakota pick up back up into a (IIRC) Buell.

I may have opened a can of worms...I mentioned it to my 10 year old in passing and rather than laugh at the idea, she was all over it. When I grew up in Chicago my Uncle would take 2 weeks every year and make the drive to visit his brother in Huntington Beach. He would swap the 4:10's for 3:**'s in his 58 Vette and off he went...did it from the mid fifties all the way up the the early 80's in various period muscle. this is a small list of what he took..58 Vette, 60 Vette. 64 Impala SS, 66 GTO, 69 442...then he grew up and the muscle went away. I always heard the stories and it's kept me thinking about it for the last 10 years.

I guess there's no time like the present so I will continue planning and see if I can pull it off. I'm guessing mid June when school lets out and before it gets too hot. I'm guessing we'll meet a few more cars doing the same thing along the way. My plan is to pull into SuperDawg Friday night for dinner.

I hope others chime in and give some imputs on daily travel /mileage, places to stay and things to see or blow off. I'm starting to get excited. As a "plan B" the guys at Goodguys have 2 trips planned originating from Pomona...1 Pomona up to Puyallup, Wa in July...the other Pomona to ? someplace just north of Denver.

I'd appreciate any feedback

Charley....can I borrow a car the Red Witch?

No....but if you do enough Power Tours you might just see Route 66 again.

This year we start in Madison Wisconsin and end up in Bristol Tennessee. Starts June 6.

If you've got the time and the inclination, stop at Williams, AZ and take the Grand Canyon Railway right to the village at south rim of the Canyon. Wonderful, scenic train ride and the kids eat it up. The train gets "robbed" by bandits who board the train on the way back to Williams.

Enjoy your trip!
