Coffee With Jim, May 28, 2023

Do you know the connection between singer Neil Diamond and the defunct Red Rooster restaurant on Route 66 in Victorville, California? Did you know that there is a 1959 TraveLodge hiding in plain sight along Route 66 in Kingman, Arizona? Did you know that Pearl Bailey once owned a dude ranch in the California Desert? 

Lots of trivia and road trip inspiration on this mornings episode of Coffee With Jim. America's storyteller, author Jim Hinckley, visits with Delvin Harbour of the California Route 66 Museum and California Historic Route 66 Association, and Nolan Stolz, Route 66 explorer and historian, and developer of the forthcoming Route 66 Suite.

Today's program is sponsored in part by Visit Tucumcari, RouteTrip USA, Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri, Roadrunner Lodge in Tucumcari, New Mexico, and the Uranus Fudge Company & General Store.
