Cadillac Ranch

It's a road tripper's dream: yards away from historic Route 66 and a short walk into a pasture outside Amarillo, Texas is the quirky art installation of Cadillac Ranch.

National Route 66 Museum Complex

The National Route 66 Museum in Elk City, Oklahoma is one of many museums commemorating this historic road. It stands out in the quality of many of the displays but also the scope of it's displays. Not only does the museum cover classic cars, tourist traps, and drive-in culture but it has additional displays covering the cultural and industrial history of Oklahoma.

Route 66 is one of the few remaining and remembered byways from the early days of cross country motor travel. In a day before the interstate system and standardized routes—when motor clubs marked roads and popular thruways had their own name—Route 66 was the Mother Road.

Painted Desert, Petroglyphs, And An Ancient Rainforest In Petrified Forest National Park

When we pull off I-40 for Petrified Forest National Park, I expect to be looking at rocks. Yet, it takes us a while to get to the rocks. We are so distracted by the breathtaking views! The Painted Desert is result of the Chinle Formation. It is a mineral deposit from river beds over 200 million years ago, during the Late Triassic Period.

Jack Sisemore Traveland RV Museum

A lot of our route is flexible, given the winter weather. But the Jack Sisemore Traveland RV Museum has been on our list of stops ever since we discovered that they also have an 1970 Avion truck camper on display—the same year as ours! Unlike ours, it has been maintained in its original condition. This includes the original and rather strange three jack point formation and period interior.

Lambert’s: Home of the Throwed Roll

Whoever told you to not throw your food was wrong. They denied you a chance to establish a very busy restaurant founded on thrown food. Well, at least thrown rolls.

City Museum

Crawling through the winding passages of the museum can be a truly surreal experience—particularly when traveling through spiraling wire mesh, unsure where, or even if, you will get out.

Yes, we are back in St. Louis and this time, it's serious. We woke up at 5 am to arrive with enough time to explore the City Museum before it closed at 5PM. Oh, it was worth it.
