Amarillo, Texas - other than the neons, much if the bar flair came from the owner’s basement … a “fishing lure collection” and much more not pictures here … “Bosco’s” is named after the owner’s pal “Bosco” who was a true hobo who traveled the rails - pretty darn cool 👍😃 … Thank You Very pARTy Much for the trivia “Diane” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabBoscos #BoscosLounge #rabBarsOfAmarillo #rabBARSofRoute66 #rabBARSofTexas #rabBarUSA #rabBARmudaTriangleAmarillo #BARmudaTriangleRAB #rabAmarilloTX #AmarilloTexas #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas #rabWestwardHo2022 Monday 12.19.22 (at Bosco's Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmb7ZpWJKJn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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/New Mexico - (SATURDAY 11.26.22) Texas Exit 0 leads to a ghost town zone … this post shows two abandoned (and destroyed) gas stations and an old “private property” vintage diner … the sad thing is there are people in this country that delight in vandalism of another person’s personal property - breaking glass and tossing trash all over mother-natures landscape … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabRoute66Texas #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabTexas #Texas #rabNewMexico #NewMexico Saturday 11.26.22 (at Glenrio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CliWF6NORFl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vega, Texas - as I checked out a few more Vega “Historic Route 66” landmarks, local “Rex” stopped to check me and “Flo” out … “Rex” & I chatted & smiles were added to my Vega adventure … “Rex” was more curious than “checking me out” 😃 … another smile-riffic Texas encounter for the “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure journal … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #RABpARTyPal #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabEatsOfRoute66 #rabMotelsOfRoute66 #rabCharactersOfRoute66 #rabQuirkyOfRoute66 #rabVegaTX #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.26.22 (at Vega, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfjVWgOrlq/?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=
