Coffee With Jim

On today's program we talk about Route 66 adventures and Route 66 adventures in a Tesla! In this free range conversation with Mike and Jessica May of Electric Route 66 we talk about the learning curve that comes with EV ownership, evolving technologies, and adventures on the most famous highway in America. 

Level one or level two charging. Range anxiety. The world's only electric vehicle museum. Battery life and replacement. Renting an EV. All of this and more on this episode of Coffee With Jim. 

Coffee With Jim is sponsored in part by RouteTrip USA, the bespoke holiday specialists for a grand adventure in the US or Canada. It is also sponsored by Visit Tucumcari, the iconic Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri, Uranus Fudge Company & General Store, and the living time capsule that is the Roadrunner Lodge in Tucumcari, New Mexico. 

On today's episode we get a look behind the scenes in our visit with Angela and Blas, proprietors at Earl's Route 66 Motor Court in Winslow, Arizona. It's a tale of inspiration, tenacity, perseverance and adapting to the twists and turns of life. And it's a fascinating story about the history of a classic Route 66 motel and its transition from neglect to revered treasure. Today's program is also a look at the Route 66 renaissance and a glimpse of what the highways's centennial might mean to small business owners along that highway corridor. 

As our theme song by The Road Crew says, come along for the ride. This is Jim Hinckley's America where we share America's story and tell people where to go.

Today's program about an historic motel is sponsored in part by the iconic Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri. It is also sponsored by the mid century gem that is the Cactus Inn Motel on Route 66 in McLean, Texas.
