Memories of Rt66

Last February, Aaron Newman (anwmn1) and I spent a couple of days photographing the stretch of Rt66 from Seligman to Yucca, AZ. Aaron posted his shots shortly thereafter, but I promptly forgot about them until now. :rolleyes So here without further ado are a few of my shots from that memorable occasion.

On the way to Seligman, with fresh snow on the ground, we decided to do some exploring down a rutted road.

And soon found ourselves in a very deserted area.

Finally made it to Seligman

    What an enjoyable series of photos. Traveling Route 66 is on my list of things to do someday.

    Thanks, Shimon! There are zillions of places like that out here. Here's one from a previous outing. This is the school for white kids in Valentine on the Indian reservation. (The Indian school in town was much larger.)

    Joel, I enjoyed viewing everyone of these images...excellent! I especially liked the second one giving me that feeling of vast empty spaces...well done.
