Actually, we picked up a second passenger in Albuquerque -- a friend that flew out to join us for 7 to 10 days but enjoyed my company so much she stayed till the end. Both say they had a great time.
The hardest part for me was jumping into my van and driving something with power rack and pinion steering and power brakes, but I'll adapt.
Enjoyed reading about your trip John. Glad you didn’t encounter anything you couldn’t handle; but I don’t know what that would be, given your skill level.
Has me sitting here wondering how Doughboy would do under those circumstances. Rather, how I would do!
All the best! Victor

Thanks Victor, I was lucky that all went well. I will be posting pictures in the next few days, as soon as my son drops by to guide me along the procedure.
Finally figured it out. Here are some pictures from my route 66 trip.
1st is a shot of the truck 6 the St. Louis Arc. 2nd is cruising through Texas. 3rd is Oatman AZ. 4th is cooling off the brakes after my failed attempt to climb Pikes Peak, to be attempted again soon. Lots more, but these are my highlights. John.
