Eleventh Hour Bridgehunting

Most of my free time lately has been going towards research and writing of my book on Lost Tulsa Restaurants -- and I'm happy to say it's going well!  But all that time at the Tulsa Historical Society and other archives has taken away from my time on the road.  Not to mention it's been … Continue reading Eleventh Hour Bridgehunting →

Crafts & Crossings

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I had one of the best in recent memory, as my Mom and brother came over to our house for the holiday.  Samantha and Mom cooked together, Tyler and I played video games, and we all enjoyed a fabulous meal.  The family even made it to a movie … Continue reading Crafts & Crossings →

Capturing Time (part two)

This is part two of my day spent traveling to Española and Taos.  For part one, click here. The eventful morning had me in an excellent mood.  My window was down and my radio was cranked high as I entered a valley.  Small artistic communities dotted the shoulder as the two-lane road snaked around mountains … Continue reading Capturing Time (part two) →

Back to the Route

I hadn't taken a Route 66 specific road trip in quite a while.  Sure, I followed a Military Vehicle Convoy in September...but that wasn't really about the road itself.  I did spend some time on Mother Road with Michael Wallis in June; but, that wasn't directly specific to 66 either.  I was having withdrawals! I … Continue reading Back to the Route →

Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part II

After enjoying lunch at the Cozy Inn on Saturday, I set out to explore more of Salina, Kansas.  You can read about the first part of my day here. For a town of about 50,000 it has a TON of beautiful architecture.  The United Building, just a few doors down from the Cozy Inn, was … Continue reading Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part II →

Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part I

"It feels good to not set an alarm," I told Samantha Friday night.  She smiled a knowing smile and said, "Doesn't matter.  You have road trip brain; you're gonna get up early anyway."  She was right.  Since I was planning a day trip through Kansas on Saturday, I woke without aid before 7:00 AM.  By … Continue reading Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part I →

On the Road with Michael – Kansas City

(other installments of this series here) I had set my alarm for 7:00 AM Wednesday morning, but it turned out that I didn't need it.  I woke shortly after sunrise, eager to start the day.  I 'enjoyed' a cup of hotel room coffee before joining Michael for breakfast on the 18th floor of the Sheraton. … Continue reading On the Road with Michael – Kansas City →

The Poplar Vote

Friday morning, I woke early.  5:00 AM early, in fact. I had a decision to make.  Should I drive straight home, or should I map a full day of driving? I had a few locations saved that I could detour to see, including a theatre in Poplar Bluff that's been on my list for YEARS. It would … Continue reading The Poplar Vote →

Showing Myself the Show-Me State

The last two days in Columbia, Missouri have been work days.  That being said, I made sure to maximize my time when I'm not in the office, and as I hoped I've been able to visit some of the small towns around here and experience a bit more of Columbia itself.  Here are some highlights! … Continue reading Showing Myself the Show-Me State →

Winding Through Missouri

When I hopped on the highway this morning, I didn't head to the office like normal.  At least, not to MY office.  My employer sent me to Columbia, Missouri to do some job shadowing at a satellite office.  I love traveling for work!  Though I was sad to leave Samantha behind for a few days, … Continue reading Winding Through Missouri →
