On today's program it is an epic road trip inspiring odyssey on Route 66, and encouragement for urban exploration in St. Louis with author and historian Joe Sonderman, and America's storyteller, Jim Hinckley.
Did you know that there are a wide array of FREE attractions including the zoo and art museum in St. Louis? Did you know that the National Museum of Transportation houses one of the largest collections of planes, trains, and automobiles in the country or that many of the exhibits are interactive?
In today's free ranging conversation we also discuss the Route 66 centennial, urban exploration and overlooked gems along Route 66 in the big cities, the infectious magic of this storied highway, the importance of stepping out of the comfort zone and the therapy that is the great American raod trip. As our theme song by the Road Crew says, come along for the ride.
Today's program is sponsored in part by the living time capsule that is the Roadrunner Lodge in Tucumcari, New Mexico, the delightful Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri, and RouteTrip USA, the bespoke holiday specialist for road trips in the United Staes or Canada.
