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=

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=

Bard, New Mexico - “Russell’s Truck Stop” is a “Historic Route 66” attraction … a superstore featuring a grocery store, souvenir shop, a enormous nostalgic 50’s diner PLUS an amazing “remember when”museum to go with it’s super-sized fuel-dispensing depot … p.s. the museum earns it’s own post! #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabDiner #DinerRAB #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabRoute66GasStations #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Russell's Truck Stop & Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWRzj5uKvt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tucumcari, New Mexico - (SUNDAY 11.27.22) Tucumcari not only has a lot of great murals, they have a lot of great BIG murals … most of the murals are in the downtown section of Tucumcari - near the train station … the cannabis dispensary located on “Historic Route 66” definitely has the most colorful mural 😂✌️… the Whiting Bros. gas station fellow is either saying “Welcome” or “Come Back Soon” - depends if you are entering Tucumcari from the west or departing Tucumcari on the west end … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rab66Murals #66Murals #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico Sunday 11.27.22 (at Tucumcari, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClosMuLuzAn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - the Cadillac Ranch is my 2nd “Historic Route 66” attraction after leaving the “6th Street Historic District” … painting the Cadillacs is what people do … escalated from painting the Cadillac’s to vandalizing the roads (& dirt) is just wrong … the layers of paint is visible like the rings on a tree … I met “Adam & Jessica” & “Brian” while walking around the “painting zone” … entrepreneur “Scott” was enduring the chilly elements to sell his “wife’s” paint-chip creations … 3 paint-chip ARTists I have met this “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure - 3 unique styles from each … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #RABpARTyPal #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabCharactersOfRoute66 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.26.22 (at Cadillac Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CldhG8WOMav/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - my 1st stop was the “Cadillac Ranch” - “still” in Amarillo … I met “Lorrie” who is an ARTist who makes “paint-chip” jewelry (in background) … I took a pic of “Lorrie” at the counter - “Flo” photo-bombed me again 🙄 … nice selection of unique Route 66 souvenirs … I asked “Lorrie” where the “Bates Motel” sign was & “Lorrie” said someone stole the sign & also stole 2 “Historic Route 66” signs of the road … may Karma remember their evil actions … my pic is from my 2018 “Historic Route 66” adventure … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabCharactersOfRoute66 #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabRoute66Signs #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.26.22 (at Cadillac Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clde3RcOBYT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - the pARTy Gods came through again … finding a parking spot in the “Big Texan Steak Restaurant” is a BIG task … cars driving in the parking lot continuously and circling in search of a place to park … “Flo” gets to park right under the “Big Texan” himself - next to the Longhorn Hearst … then, unable to get a full body shot of the boot-wearing Alligator Lizard mascot (“BEVO” I think?), the car blocking my view pulls out to allow the pic - after the pic a car parks immediately … sundown starts too #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabCrazyRAB #rabSunsets #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabEatsOfRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabPartyGodFind #rabAmarilloTX #AmarilloTexas #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas (at The Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClN1PC9uVlY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
