This car and I are the same age. It has 53,900 original miles on it. I think I have more miles on me than she has!
The mechanic has his doubts that I can make it from Richland, Washington to Kansas City. I believe in her.
I’ll head south into Oregon then east to Twin Fall, ID. From there I’ll head south to Vegas and on to Phoenix.
After a short stop there I’ll head north to Route 66 and east again, winding my way home to Kansas City.
With a pound of jerky by my side, cigars, plenty of water, and a full tank of gas…off we go!
I'm just a guy who finds the world an interesting place and likes to capture certain moments with a camera. They aren't for sale, or anything. I just like them. Well, usually. I've taken a lot of photos I don't like, as well.

A week ago Tuesday started out simply enough...we woke up early and hit the road north to Marceline, MO to tour the Walsworth Publishing plant, then lunch at Tall Paul's in Bucklin, MO with Meghan Viers Jolliffe, Joe Cupp, and Beverly Cupp. From there, Jonathan and I would wander rural Missouri so he could get a glimpse of life out here.
I got pulled over today. After a fun morning teaching Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Bridge at he Panhandle Press Association convention in Amarillo,Texas I was home bound. Heading over to Oklahoma City on I-40 then north on I-35 was the quickest route, but who wants that when one can take the back roads and see abandoned airports and rural America?
I saw him up ahead, walking along the shoulder of the highway leaving Mesa, Arizona, backpack and trash bag full of clothes. As I zipped by with a list of reasons not to stop, I saw the small cardboard sign: “GALLUP, NM.”
