Been watching the Weather Channel as departure time nears. After reading about the devastation caused by the tornado that came through Joplin it certainly has my attention. Keep an ear to that weather band!

That reminds me the time I crossed the Mojave desert in August, few years ago. The temp was 120+, so I took a shelter in hotel; hopefully, it would be cooler at midnight. It was 105.
I'll do it again this time!

All the way to Santa Monica and Back! It was a great trip. Departed NJ on 25 MAY and returned on 12 June. Only Put the rain suit on once and that was the last day of the trip. If anyone follows this Route, and overnight stay in Williams, AZ is a good idea. Its a great little western town.

Cool! Sounds like a good trip. I'm leaving a week from tomorrow from St. Louis. Don't know how far I'll get since I am planning on stopping at as many of the classic road-side attractions I can. Hoping to get as far as Santa Fe on this trip.

All the way to Bakerfield, CA, but I had to skip Santa Monica as there was a family matter. Great trip, and the weather in June is perfect. I took too much pictures of the Route 66 and a few POI, such as Meteor Crater, so here is my route 66 album.
I was lucky that I didn't have to use my rainsuit at all. Actually, the temp was in the cool side in the morning in some places that I have to put on the Jacket.
The ready2go GPS file has done a great job to keep the trip more pleasant, as I didn't have to tumble with the map anymore.
I am stil on the road, but I have uploaded all the Route 66 pictures, so everyone can have the ideas about the route 66. I will have a report later, after I get home. Hopefully next week.
