I was quite happy with both. https://dennygibson.com/bd2026/day07/ D2956B3C-D560-4943-A7DE-9C2DF0B4FA3B Mon, 6 Apr 2026 07:31:13 -0400 Not every place I went today was familiar. In fact, one place that was a repeat looked quite different. https://dennygibson.com/bd2026/day06/ 618B5811-FA6C-4D0C-96AE-0EA04E314D5E Sun, 5 Apr 2026 11:07:17 -0400 It was cloudy and sometimes rainy as I left Nebraska for Iowa, so I didn't get many pictures. But I got a few. https://dennygibson.com/bd2026/day05/ 80425CD7-89F4-45A9-8257-4EF1A97F3C65 Sun, 5 Apr 2026 08:26:14 -0400 I'm not in Kansas anymore. I'm in Nebraska, on US-6, visiting Harold Warp's Pioneer Village. https://dennygibson.com/bd2026/day04/ BED0026E-A133-4D2A-8D05-C5AAA4D3CDD1 Sat, 4 Apr 2026 11:18:32 -0400 Lucas, KS, is a really cool town. No foolin'. https://dennygibson.com/bd2026/day03/ 70C740FA-B058-42FF-ADD6-3D84CC0F61CC Fri, 3 Apr 2026 08:21:23 -0400 Today's cool museum was the Wizard of Oz Museum in Wamego, KS. https://dennygibson.com/bd2026/day02/ C7DD02FE-AF2A-4C4A-8373-88EB4C9E3A6C Wed, 1 Apr 2026 19:53:50 -0400 I'm on my way to April Fools-A-Palooza in Lucas, KS, but today I stopped at the Arabia Steamboat Museum in Kansas City, MO. https://dennygibson.com/bd2026/day01/ C1911225-9C32-466F-8E01-631D6D574B56 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 09:35:44 -0400 I figured this would be the last day of the trip, but by early afternoon, I wasn't so sure. A final three hours of expressway, after a day mostly on two lanes, did the trick. My love of two-lane roads was reinforced by passing two accidents in those three hours. https://dennygibson.com/cer2025/day06/ 24717C91-9CBC-4FAF-941F-96008D720A0B Sat, 27 Dec 2025 11:16:15 -0500 I often stay in one place on Christmas Day and can post the associated page rather early. Not so this year. This was a traveling day, it had to follow a "normal" schedule. Merry Christmas from Jackson, TN, where it is hotter than a pepper sprout or at least hotter (77 degrees F) than a normal Tennessee Christmas. https://dennygibson.com/cer2025/day05/ 368D2987-357D-43A2-9FC2-A7D548D2E51E Fri, 26 Dec 2025 01:04:42 -0500 I made very few stops today, and those I did make all had to do with food of some sort. Not that there's anything wrong with that. https://dennygibson.com/cer2025/day04/ 083003D8-6E28-4D4A-9D07-17C8B92ED0EA Thu, 25 Dec 2025 02:39:52 -0500 What a great day for hunting roadside giants. At 80 degrees F in December in Oklahoma, it was also a great day for wearing T-shirts and shorts. I left home with nothing but long sleeves and jeans. https://dennygibson.com/cer2025/day03/ E460EDDA-5875-45B3-A4BD-764D60FFB92E Wed, 24 Dec 2025 20:20:47 -0500 Today was sort of Route 66 centric, but actually being on the route was a little hit-and-miss as I worked my way across the state. https://dennygibson.com/cer2025/day02/ 475F1711-66C3-484A-82AE-C85537D0FA9D Tue, 23 Dec 2025 10:56:04 -0500 There was a really nice crowd at the sunrise gathering at Cahokia Mounds, but clouds blocked a clear view of the sun. After that cloudy but very cool start, I moved on to two sign parks, a tree market, a fudge market, and an exciting motel resurrection. https://dennygibson.com/cer2025/day01/ 9DDBEBFE-02F6-4058-8C0E-E6B9449A4A71 Mon, 22 Dec 2025 20:56:19 -0500 There was a touch of rain in the morning, but I was soon out of it on US-136. I stayed with US-136 to its eastern end in Speedway, IN, then drove home from there on expressways. https://dennygibson.com/rt66mop25/day05/ 318CB423-96C2-44C2-B123-D9DA5767F175 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 18:50:22 -0400 The day began with a stop at the launch of a cool photo exhibit and ended in a land of giants. Stops at a couple of restored gas stations filled the time in between. https://dennygibson.com/rt66mop25/day04/ 96D8A5F9-1EDD-49CF-86D0-20E19140F661 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:35:40 -0400 Another day of presentations highlighted by my modeling debut and the passing of the mop. https://dennygibson.com/rt66mop25/day03/ D43DC990-75C7-4C97-AFC9-E1D8891EBA24 Mon, 13 Oct 2025 09:30:44 -0400 A full day of presentations topped off with a first-rate concert. https://dennygibson.com/rt66mop25/day02/ 727493A8-47D4-4C2A-BECB-78FE4C8926BF Sun, 12 Oct 2025 18:15:20 -0400 The drive to the 2025 Route 66 Miles of Possibility conference was mostly on expressways, but there was a surprise visit to a renewed and relocated Route 66 icon. https://dennygibson.com/rt66mop25/day01/ FCEDCBA6-6827-42D3-9E3A-0C34765F074A Fri, 10 Oct 2025 06:54:50 -0400 I made it home after two repeats, one threepeat, and one completely new to me roadside attraction and eatery. https://dennygibson.com/us10badger/day08/ CE49F715-87CF-4DE8-A640-5BE8C5B19BF2 Mon, 4 Aug 2025 12:45:56 -0400
