I have been following Sandi's blog (http://pictureroute66.com) and it has inspired me to do something, some sort of project, related to the Mother Road. I would like the trip to have a purpose or a goal, that will ultimately, somehow help Route 66. And this is the reason I am writing to you today, to ask for help and inspiration in coming up with a project that would benefit Route 66 and that I could do along the way. If you have ever thought of something that someone should do about or related to Route 66, please let me know, I would appreciate your suggestions. Perhaps something that can be "collected" along the way, but not necessarily objects unless you have a good idea, either way. I am open for any suggestions you may have. I am not an artist or photographer and I have never written a book but I have written both a thesis and a dissertation as I do have two advanced degrees, a masters and a doctorate. If you'd like to know more about me, you can see my old travel blog at http://bellaandtheroad.blogspot.com and my new blog at http://lifeat55mph.blogspot.com Also, if you have any tips about what to do or see along Route 66, where to eat or where to park overnight, I'd love to hear those too. Thanks for your time and I look forward to your advice and suggestions for, about, or with, Route 66. Mar marnavarro@mac.com 407-273-0886 Route 66 Friend,

It has always been my dream to drive the whole length of Route 66 and it looks like I will be able to realize my dream soon. I am female, traveling alone, in a small motorhome.

It is a long story that I’ll be glad to share with you if interested, but to make a long story short let me just say that I plan to drive from Illinois to California starting November 1, 2009.

The selection on the menu was such a nice change from the typical Western Oklahoma style of food. The ribeye and grilled shrimp was outstanding served with a sensational salad and our selection of roasted squash, and baked potato. Although we did not try the cheese board, wine, or dessert other patrons did and we would certainly make that choice on our next visit. The view was stunning. We took the time to slitter through out the structure for an appreciation of the renovation and what once was a country club in the 20's. I would highly recommend you to capture this one of a kind dining experience. We enjoyed a wonderfull evening with a unique atmosphere and inviting staff.

We certainly don't mind that our photographs were used; we just want to see them and can't find them! Could you help us with this, please? Thank you.

They were just doing drinks & deserts when I stopped in to look the place over and have a beer. But one of the deserts was that lemon pecan pie you've pictured and I found that so intriguing that I yielded to temptation. I'm sure glad I did. Different & extremely tasty and it sounds as if the rest of the menu matches up very well. Plus the building and, of course, the view are very cool, too. “Come for the view … stay for the food” is just about exactly what I did at their preview during the ‘07 Route 66 Festival in Clinton.
