I'm pretty jazzed about my next adventure. I'm travelling cross country. Alone. Just me and the highway. Which road you might ask?
Route 66
I'm heading north to Amarillo and then going west on Route 66 until I hit the ocean. Turn around and head back. I'm going to stop at all the traditional touristy things along the way. See if I can find a giant ball of twine or something like that. The only concern... I'm doing it within the next month and I've never been on that highway before.
I'm not sure what the roads will be like during January and I'm sure I'll be going through some mountains. I'll have to figure it out along the way. Do I need snow chains? I will be prepared though with all kinds of food, water, energy drinks, warm items packed in the back. I do have an Xterra, so I'll have plenty of room for all essentials.
I plan on taking my camera with me to create some sort of photo blog during that week. I'm also not sure about Internet access, so I may be non-existent that week. I'm picking the week tomorrow morning to make sure work is well covered.
Wish me luck. "Go west young man, go west."

Whoohoo....welcome ot the Twilight Zone. I did part of Route 66 back in college...kind of a "Fear and Laothing in Las Vegas" trip, and boy did we TRIP! The road is full of pot holes, the people are strange and the scenery is awesome. Join AAA, take your camera, a gas can and loads of snacks...and your favorite drivin music.
Good luck and keep a journal, it will be well worth it.
Cool. I thought I would get the infamous "why" question. Finally someone else can share my enthusiasm for this historic landmark.
