I drove some of the remaining segments of Route 66 back in 2019 on our mega-road trip. One of the destinations was Jim Carter Truck Parts in Independence, MO, then down to Mar-K in OKC. Met up with Justhorsenaround for lunch, then on some of the segments near El Reno, which are definitely a dentist's friend. Then West from there. Drove some of the stretches thru the Mohave Desert, including thru Amboy. I recall riding thru that stretch when I was a kid, before the Interstates were built. Mom had a swamp cooler on her window of the 1954 Chevy Station Wagon and was the only one of the six of us who was cooled. LOL!

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
