Days on the Road: 17 Miles Driven: 2,542Miles Driven by Ken: 2,542Miles Driven by Andrea: 0 Photographs Taken: A shit ton. My best guestimate is 10-12,000. Roadside Signs ... Read more

The end of the Mother Road. Because we live in Los Angeles, and maybe because it was a Sunday, we didn't stop at all the little things as we drove from Pasadena to Santa Monica, so this is quite a shorter post than all of the previous days. Our first stop was to grab a shot of the amazing logo at ... Read more

Because we live in Pasadena, Day 16 along Route 66 was a bit short, but there is plenty to do and see in Pasadena! We started our morning in a teepee.

After breakfast, we took off and I immediately started snapping some motel signs as we headed out of Gallup.You know you're in New Mexico when you start seeing ... Read more

The drive from Albuquerque to Gallup is beautiful! Gorgeous views. New Mexico really lives up to its nickname, the Land of Enchantment! Plus there are a ton of ruins, old signs, abandoned gas stations, etc. All the things that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE. We passed the ruins for Bowlin's Old ... Read more

We couldn't wait to get the hell out of Santa Fe. I just couldn't get with that town. Too many old people, too much expensive turquoise jewelry, not Route 66-ish. So we checked out and headed towards Albuquerque and since it was a short driving day, we stopped for a bunch of antique stores and ... Read more
