Amarillo, Texas - I was on a mission today … I bravely fought the extreme “coldish” wind to search for layered paint chips that have fallen off the Cadillacs … many plastic paint can caps smashed into the ground, but only a few paint chips were scored - they are popular finds for jewelry designers … only time will tell how long my “Run-A-Way Bill” sticker will stay paint-free … upon arrival, the “Cadillac Ranch” food & paint supplier trailer was making sales - was gone before I left … I always thought “where do these folks get their paint? - now I know 1 source 😃👍 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #RABwasHERE #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabAmarilloTX #AmarilloTexas #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Sunday 12.18.22 (at Cadillac Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWZYbqOTB1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GlenRio, Texas - “bye-bye” New Mexico & “hello” Texas … a new state comes with new time zone - just lost an hour 🙄 … Exit 0 leads to ghost town GlenRio and the original “Historic Route 66” Route - a 14 mile bumpy dirt road … with Texas also comes the smell of future hamburgers - a mile of cattle waiting to feed America … the smell of thousands of cattle pooping (and/or farting) is almost gagging 🤢 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabStateSign #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Glenrio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWWSihOizF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bard, New Mexico - the “Russell Truck Stop” museum is a magnificent walk down memory lane … the vehicles are truly wonderful, but so many nostalgic items give flashbacks of “I remember that!” - my barber chair is on display (need the twirling barber sign though) … I have missed the “Russell Truck Stop” experience in my previous “Historic Route 66” adventures … I have always taken the non-interstate Route along a 14-mile dirt road section of “Historic Route 66” from San Jon to GlenRio (like I did again this “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure just a few weeks ago) … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabFavoriteMemory #rabBettyBoop #BettyBoop #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Russell's Truck Stop & Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWUXgTuZUc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
