    Route 66 is the the one highway we hear about in Canada for an iconic road trip.

      I’m Canadian too Carl, but we’ve been fortunate to travel many segments of it over the years. This year is the 100th Anniversary of “The Mother Road”, so we’re trying to hit a few that we haven’t already seen. Thanks for your comment and have a great day!

    Awesome Route 66 photo! It looks like a nice place to get the Route 66 passport stamp and eat something before continuing the journey.

      Thank you, Edward. It could very well be as you say. I don’t know if all of the iconic stops give passport stamps. We’ve been to several of the roadside attractions over the years, but have never had a passport book. This one, I just spotted on the way by, so had to catch a quick photo.

        You’re welcome, Terry. It was a nice catch. I have been trying to take more photos of places I’m visiting or passing by, but I get so focused on enjoying the moment that I’m always forgetting to pull out my phone and take photos.

        It’s like any other habit, Edward – it takes time to get set. At least you’re starting with intent. Have a great day!

      We didn’t stop, but I had to get a Rte 66 Capture on the way by.

    We’re hoping to visit NM next year. I’ll keep a look out for this sign, haha!

      NM has so much to offer, Lenore. We loved every second we spent there and saw more than we ever imagined we would in terms of history and landscapes.

    We love New Mexico, usually go twice a year to Ruidoso for the horse races and to relax. the floods ruined the track, and most of the cabins in the upper canyon burned down so we haven’t been in two years. We are heading to South Dakota next month to see Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer Park and the bison roundup and all that other stuff, and it will be cool, thank God, no more 108 which is what it will be today. I’ve been on parts of the old Route 66 which turns into I-40 in Amarillo.

      We loved New Mexico too, Phil, and zig-zagged across almost the whole state that year. The horse races sound fun. Sorry to hear about the issues it’s suffered. You’ll enjoy South Dakota. Lots to see and do there.

    Good memories for you! New Mexico was a new state for us this trip!

      There’s certainly lots to see and do in NM, Betty! Hopefully you were able to experience some of it.

        We honestly did not spend too much time there. Perhaps another time.

    Good thing no kids… 2K miles of “Are we there yet?” 😂

      Don’t need kids along for those questions, Darryl. I’m always so excited to get to the next stop that I ask it often 🤭

      It was a very good year for us, because on the way home from Texas, we toured all over New Mexico. It was the only mainland state we hadn’t seen, so was definitely a bucket list hit and we hit it good! Have a great day, Bernie!
