The Road goes ever on and on....

Down from the place where it began;

Now farther on the road has gone and I must follow if I can;

Pursuing it with eager feet until it joins some larger way,

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.--JRRTolkien

I thought you might want another picture of the "road" proper. This is "sidewalk 66"...a stretch back in eastern Oklahoma characterized by the original sidewalk framing. Only 8 feet wide and uncomfortable to pass. It's one of a series of original detours travelers are encouraged to take in the official map set. Neil has neglected to mention that the map set was created by a well-intentioned insane person. Impossible to read; impossible to follow. But what choice is there? He's done the research figuring out where the original road went. And he is faithful to it in the extreme. What he is not faithful to is the English language.

Today we jog left and Y right from Amarillo to Albuquerque...about 320 miles as goes the interstate. Oh, never mind. Belay my last. It's a straight run.
