A special thanks to Elizabeth Olwig of the Route 66 Association of Missouri for joining us this morning, our first program of the new year! Olwig's infectious enthusiasm and boundless curiosity were a great way to start the day. If you would like more information about Route 66 in Missouri, start with a visit to the Route 66 Association of Missouri website - www.missouri66.org May I suggest lending these fine folks a hand by becoming a supporter?
I hope that you enjoyed the conversation between Jim Hinckley and Elizabeth Olwig. Join us next Sunday morning for another shared adventure on Coffee With Jim for more stories from the open road! Our special guest will be master storyteller Evan Stern, creator of the acclaimed Vanishing Postcards podcast. Invite your friends, grab a cup of coffee and join the conversation.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing advertising partners for making these programs possible:
Enchanted Trails Trading Post and RV Park in Albuquerque, a 1940s trading post, a modern RV park with views of the Sandia Mountains, and a vintage travel trailer display, a perfect stop for a nostalgic experience on Route 66.
The Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri, offering charming accommodations with a touch of vintage elegance. The oldest continuously operated motel on Route 66 is not just a place to rest the weary head, it is a destination.
The Roadrunner Lodge Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico, where classic Americana meets modern comfort. Time travel is possible. Experience a bit of 1960s swank at this Route 66 treasure. Tell David that Jim sent you and ask for a tiki room.
RouteTrip USA is your go-to guide for unforgettable road trips. Cruising legendary Route 66, exploring California in a convertible, jumping on a motorbike for one of our group tours, or experiencing the breathtaking Canadian Rockies onboard the Rocky Mountaineer train, RouteTrip USA is your bespoke road trip holiday specialist.
Supporters of our crowdfunding initiative on Patreon where you get a peek behind the curtain at Jim Hinckley’s America, and support development of our educational programs.
And the Cactus Inn Motel in McLean, Texas, a cozy retreat on the Mother Road. A 1950s-time capsule, and a whole lot of Texas hospitality. Perfect!
