I'm Gonna Drive the Mother Road.

[ScaryVoodooGirl]

AKA Route 66. Sometime next year in the Comet. Drive across Canada and then down to Chicago and west from there, stopping along the way to visit shops, maybe catch some shows etc etc. Planning everything out right now, getting hold of tattoo shops along the route etc...but it's gonna happen!....after I get back from Australia haha. I'll keep everyone up to date...but would be rad to have a bit of a convoy along the route! Not the entire thing, but it'd be killer to have some rods cruise the old road...and would make for hella photo ops.

That's awesome !![cl

Sounds like a killer trip to me

On 66, between Kingman and Oatman. Some of the roads are narrow and cliffhangers.

killer photos!! I know I want to do as much of the original route as possible, but will undoubtedly make a few side-tracked trips to hit certain shops/friends places along the way...but hopefully I'll be able to make the trip on the original as much as possible

Just make sure your car can handle it an research it. That section I just posted a pic of I have done in both my t truck and my wife's 64 Mercury Monclair. You couldnt pay me to do it in that 64 again. 4 wheel drum brakes SUCK.

I will research it for sure! won't happen until after March at the least, I get back from Oz, fly here to NC for a week or so (convention) fly back to Calgary and then I think I'll head out from there, take my time driving it, stop whenever/wherever for however long...there are few things I enjoy more than just driving somewhere, so I want to just sort of go with the flow. Then once in LA, I'll take my time driving up to Oregon for a bit and then back home. Will make for one helluva journey

 

[choppintops]

Get ahold of me when you are heading into AZ and we will meet up and CRUIZE to Oatman. Its a cool old dold rush mining town.

Cool very fun trip. I drive RT66 in to work every day. Stop and say Hello when you get to New Mexico.

Lot of info on the net about it. You can find what you will want to know before you plan.

Here's my blog from our Route 66 trip to the Viva Las Vegas Car Show back in March.

 

[ScaryVoodooGirl]

great! Thanks! So far there's about 10 or 15 other cars that want to join for different parts of the trip (starting in Chitown)....I'm already stoked!

You will be living my dream, it seems like such a cool thing to do. One of my bucket list items for sure.........that and Bonneville.

Enjoy your trip and take lots of pictures.

Don, I'm getting real serious about making B'ville happen too. It's only 800 miles for me though.

SVG, sounds like a fantastic trip. I have traveled 66 three times back in the day with my grandparents. I have fond memories traveling that road.

Make sure to take lots of pics and keep us up to date on your journey.

We plan to do it again this year, we plan to leave east Tennessee March 22.

I just finished looking through your album on Facebook haha. March is still a tad early for me to start this one, I'll be in North Carolina for a tattoo convention, but based on your photos I can't wait! Are you headed to Vegas again? Seems I'm there 4 or 5 times a year for shows etc. Have fun!

Yes, we plan to hit Viva again...we may take the '66 Riviera but who knows...we may be driving something that doesn't even exist today.
