Coffee With Jim

And The Alphabetical Odyssey Continues

Our alphabetical odyssey along legendary Route 66 continues with a few stops in the desert such as at Amboy, and the story of shooting in Arcadia, California. As the theme song says, come along for the ride. 
I would like to give a shout out to the Road Crew for our theme song, to supporters of our crowdfunding initiative on the Patreon platform, and our major sponsor of the week, Cuba Missouri. I also need to thank Sam, our audio engineer. 

Murder & Mayhem in Amarillo

This week on Ten Minutes with Jim, we continue our alphabetical odyssey on Route 66 with Amarillo and a sordid tale of murder, intrigue, sex, and fugitives from 1949. Tex Thornton was a larger than life legend and his murder in a motel along Route 66, the search for the killers, and the trial dominated headlines throughout the nation. 
A hearty thank you to Sam Murray for his editorial skills, and to the Road Crew for our theme song. And a shout out is due to our major sponsors, the City of Cuba, and Grand Canyon Caverns & Inn.

Pop A Top, My Friend

Update your Uber app and grab the aspirin as we are setting out on Route 66 in search of wineries, microbreweries, distilleries, roadhouses, and western saloons. It's a road trip of the drinking kind. The Meramec Wine Trail, an authentic 1930's roadhouse in Missouri, an historic Arizona saloon and a couple of award winning microbreweries are just a few highlights from this weeks adventure in Jim Hinckley's America. 
A hearty than you to our editor, Sam Murray, and to the Road Crew for our theme song. And a shout out to wonderful, delightful Cuba, Missouri, sponsor of this weeks program. 

The Forgotten Cousin of Route 66

This week on Ten Minutes With Jim set out on an adventure along the forgotten cousin of Route 66, US 6. Until it was truncated at Bishop, California in 1964 this amazing highway connected Cape Cod in Massachusetts with Long Beach in California. Crossing the Colorado Rockies at 11,990 feet it is the highest US highway. It might also be the loneliest as in Nevada it passes through only three communities with a population of more than 100 people! Join author Jim Hinckley on adventure of epic proportions!  

Adding Some Zest to The Adventure

This week on Ten Minutes With Jim we add some zest to your Route 66 travel plans with information about the largest Czech festival in America, betting on cow plopping and a few other events of the quirky kind. Adventurers are guaranteed in Jim Hinckley's America and this week its a cultural odyssey with a side order of silliness.
