It's so hard to believe that after almost 2 years of planning for this adventure that it's finally come to an end..
Some say that it's not about the journey, it's about the destination.. However if there's one thing that I've learned in the last 12 days, it's without the journey you can't appreciate the destination. There is so much of this beautiful country that goes unseen and taken for granted. To see what "progress" has done to these little towns along the way is heartbreaking. There are a lot of people out there who are doing everything they can to help preserve Route 66 history. Three of them I got to know during this trip and want to thank. Dan Rice and Ian Bowen from 66-to-Cali at the Pier in Santa Monica. Thank you Dan for all the time you took to educate me on Route 66! And Angel Delgadillo at his barber shop in Seligman Arizona, I only got to spend about an Hour talking with him and in that time he told me more about Route 66 then I could have imagined. Thank you Angel! There is one more person that I want to thank for making this adventure possible, that's my copilot and best friend, my wife Chris. Without her support and patience through the build of the car and planning, the trip couldn't have been done, I love you.. Lastly I'd like to say Thank you to all of the great people I've got to meet and talk to along the way, I can honestly say that everyone was friendly and pleasure to talk with!
