Scenic Sunday
One night in Clarendon
I’ve written before about passing through Clarendon, Texas, on our travels to and from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I never manage to shoot very many photos because our stops are so brief — but this time we actually did spend a night in town. Unfortunately, the wind was pretty much howling and the chilly evening temperatures didn’t encourage much exploring […]
Seligman to Holbrook, Arizona
There’s always so much beautiful scenery along Interstate 40 in Arizona. Much of it I don’t manage to shoot because I’m driving and don’t really want to stop every few minutes. But once the Big Guy takes over driving in the afternoon, I can point my camera at whatever I like.
Keep on trucking
Leaving behind the rainstorms in California’s Central Valley, we arrived in the desert to find blue skies — and 25-35 mph winds, with gusts up to 55 mph.

Auto detailing
As we say goodbye to September, here are a few more images from my visit last June to the Route 66 Auto Museum in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.
The Adventure Continues… Dune Buggy
Often imitated, the Meyers Manx remains unique — and more sought after — even all these years later. It just may be impossible to live in California and not have known about these fun little cars, but I had never heard the name “Meyers Manx” until now. And although I’ve never had the pleasure in riding in either an original […]
Santa Rosa car museum
As we drove home from Texas last June along Highway 40, we spent our second night on the road in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. One reason for stopping here was that the Big Guy wanted to check out the Route 66 Auto Museum. The museum is relatively small, basically filling one large room, but packed full of classic cars and […]
