El Paso, Texas - bartender “Falicia” has kept the smiles-a-flowing’ over the years I have visited “Rosa’s Cantina” … “Falicia’s” positive energy and great service earned her a “Run-A-Way Bill” FAVORITE award … owner “Patricia” walks about the bar interacting & sharing smiles with her long-term & newest customers … even the customers are super-riffic - chatting and smiling with locals & out-of-towners alike … locals “Michael” & “Bertha” gave me “more smiles than I came in with” for sure 😃 … the food is tasty-riffic … I haven’t found a better spicy green-chili anywhere in the USA - the BEST in Texas without a doubt! “Rosa’s Cantina” may be famous for Marty Robbin’s “El Paso” song, but folks return for the yummy-riffic food, the friendly bar atmosphere and the smiles … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabFavoriteEats #rabFavoriteStickerWinner #OwnerOperatedBusiness #rabOwnerOperatedBusiness #rabRosaCantina #RosaCantina #rabElPasoTX #rabTexas #Texas Wednesday 12.21.22 (at Rosa's Cantina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjjBHZOVQf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

El Paso, Texas - driving over the Franklin Mountain Range HIGHway (a mile HIGH) is interesting … it amazes me how much rock is removed from the mountains to create a USA Mountain passes … how many trucks are required and where do they put it? the West END of “US Route 54” ends without a sign at the Mexican border just a short distance from “Rosa’s Cantina” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabScenery #rabUSroute54 #USroute54 #rabElPasoTX #rabTexas #Texas Wednesday 12.21.22 (at Franklin Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjEef-Or3V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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 - heading to the “Circus Room” but I received a “calling” to check “Bosco’s Lounge” out - a pARTy Gods inspiration for sure … I entered and the bartender greeted me like I’ve been here before … a bit of “Run-A-Way Bill” hashtag research verified I was and the bartender is camera shy “Diane” (see hand-pic 😂) from my February, 2021 visit during my “Life in Quarantine” adventure … “Diane” shared the history of “Bosco’s” & about the bar flair … another pARTy Pal village began to greet me one-by-one … customer “Billy” approached Mexico requested a sticker after he saw one … the I met pool-shark “Rupert” and we shared some smiles 😃 … then all of a sudden I was greeted by a circle of smiles - it was smile-riffic … L👀K’n like rediscovering “Bosco’s Lounge” has now created the “Run-A-Way Bill” Amarillo “BARmuda Triangle” - “the “Circus Room”, “Polly’s Pub” & “Bosco’s Lounge” … bartender “Diane” I Thank You & your bar groupies Very pARTy Much for the smiles … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabBoscos #BoscosLounge #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBarsOfAmarillo #rabBARSofTexas #rabBarUSA #rabBARSofRoute66 #BARmudaTriangleRAB #rabBARmudaTriangleAmarillo #RABpARTyPal #rabBartendersTexas #rabBARSofRoute66 #rabTexas #Texas Monday 12.19.22 (at Bosco's Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmb4WkPp_Z0/?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 - “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=

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=

Adrian, Texas - the “Bent Door Cafe” in Adrian is the halfway point (1139 miles each way) of “Historic Route 66” between Chicago, Illinois & Santa Monica, California … an official “Historic Route 66” attraction & great photo-op location … the cafe was closed - appears to be on a limited hour schedule … the gas pumps are “Flo’s” signal to smile … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #RABwasHERE #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #HistoricRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabRoute66GasStations #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #FloGasStation #rabRoute66GasStations #rabEatsOfRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.27.22 (at The Bent Door Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfxCjQu1y-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vega, Texas - the blue sky finally appeared on the west end of Vega … along “Historic Route 66” I spotted an abandoned home & silo off the road … when I see an abandoned house like this, I imagine the pride when the family first moved into this house and called it “home” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.26.22 (at Vega, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfsxSIuplu/?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=
