Lurking on my favorite Route 66 group, I’ve found some interesting and fun news!

First, always wanting to encourage preservation, it appears the Historic Minnetonka Trading Post on Old Route 66 in Winslow Arizona, is up for sale again (this is the only picture I could find – is it correct? **Now that I look at the ad, I don’t think it is, if someone has a picture, can they send it to me?) – here’s all the info on Craigslist, but it’s a bargain at 95,000  but looks like it needs some definite work!  New roof and comes with a liquor license!  Sounds like a fabulous retirement opportunity for someone!

And if you’d like to help out the Route 66 effort, they’re raffling off a quilt – go check out the details here (it’s a nice quilt!).

Ghost Towns of Route 66 – Glenrio and Endee

While traveling the mother road (also known as Route 66) over spring break, we were fortunate enough to find out about a side road – well, it used to be Route 66 proper, but as Sally said in the movie “Cars”, “The town got bypassed just to save ten minutes of driving.” and that couldn’t ring more true with the towns of Endee and Glenrio. Both are still fantastically picturesque but in a sad haunting
