Guys, I'm waiting. You're only 7 hours away. What happened to the 12 hour trip?

 

I don't think we're gonna make it chief. We started a little late and the waiter at lunch wasn't quite on the ball. We are going to try and make it into Oklahoma and then stop for the night. I think we have about 200 miles to go.

 

I didn't figure you would after hearing when you left. I've made that trip 3 times round trip since the first of July. I know every pot hole in the road. Joplin would be your best bet for lodging. After you hit Oklahoma, there won't be much for nearly 100 miles.

 

Thanks for the heads up Tom. I'm thinking we are stopping in Springfield for the night.

 

Best to be safe. Lot's of people counting on your safety. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

 

Stop being wusses and drive!

 

If they were the 3 Musketeers instead of the 3 Blind Mice, David would have had them here by now. Imagine trying to keep those 3 in check. Ain't happenin.

 

Tom tell Victoria I will see her tomm

 

well i suddenly feel like an asshat! lol.. i was whining about my 4 hour drive on monday to go to SEMA.... suddenly it doesnt seem so far 4 hours must seem like one blink to you guys!! drive safe! see you all at SEMA!

 

Man you guys are so lucky you can go to sema, I would kill to go there!

 

My wife asked me last night why I wasn't going. Uh,,,,I was gone for 22 days while playing in Ohio. I might be seing a ***** in her armor. Maybe, 3 Amigos need another vehicle in the caravan. Hmmm...

Where are you guys and how much time do I have to get my bag ready. I still have to fill up the truck and get some cash.

 

Dave is stuck on driving RT 66, so that is where we are in Cartgridge MO.

 

sounds like a fun trip!

 

Drive safe!! Almost there..

 

Wow guys! What an awesome day so far!! We woke up an hour early because we forgot about day light savings time. Got ready and made our way to Waffle House for some breakfast. after that we got on the road. We quickly decided to detour and cruise along Route 66. Wow am I glad we did. We cruised along and saw some very cool old sites. We stopped at this old gas station to take some pictures and we started talking to this guy for probably a half hour. He was telling us the history of Rt. 66 and talking about all the different towns along the it. He then gave us a tour of the gas station. There was so much history at this place. He then hooked us up with some Rt. 66 Root Beer. I'm not a big root beer fan, but this stuff tasted great!

Anyways, on to the pictures!

Waffle House in the morning.



Here is a building that we were told was a casket company and mortuary.



Here's the old gas station we stopped at and spent about a half hour talking with the guy that was there about all the stuff on Rt. 66
