VLV 15 via Route 66 Road Trip

  1. Great I see you're having lots of fun on your trip. We went by Graceland in 04 on a trip from Houston TX to Chicago. We were in a bit of a hurry, so we didn't see the car museum. Thanks for sharing.

    We left Conway, AR this morning and drove hard in the cool of the day until we hit Route 66 at 1:30 today in Oklahoma City, it was 90 and the Mercury was struggling with the heat in the city so we headed on through El Reno, Yukon and stopped at Weatherford, OK which is a cool little 66 town.

    I know it doesn't look like much but this shot was a big deal for us, it was the first time we pulled onto 66.

    BTW, i kno i told you about a million times, but both your Mercs are the bomb!

    Cruising w/ the breezeaway window through the 66 on a sunny day must really be an experience of a lifetime.
     
  22. Awesome to see you're back on the road and safe. The mother road is the best. Always up for a good time.
