I love your recap and am so glad you're making the most of your drive, BC!

Even with a week for the journey, there is too much to see and do for this long of a drive. My AAA 66 map broke up the whole 66 into 5 or 6 "road trips". I'm hitting 3.5 of them. I think each would make a nice week trip. I'd love to get a traveling companion and do each leg of it! Maybe a mini-Winnebago.
Oh, something I didn't mention. Today I ran into a SECOND group of German tourists riding on Harleys in a pack. I'm guessing there is a very thriving tour industry of renting Harley Davidson's to tour America. And from what I've learned, the 66 is quintessential American, that many Europeans want to do. Can't blame them. Seems like a sweet idea.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Reading your travelogue is great, omnis.
I'm surprised that restaurant isn't violating a health code somehow with having the customers cook their own meat.

Thankfully I know how to cook, so it was ok. But would not recomend. The "salad bar" was sucky, and that comes from me, who is not a salad lover. and they had a slow cooker with beans, that were bland. Guess they never heard of brown sugar. The corn on the cob was ok.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I've been at several restaurants where you cook your own food. There was an amazing supper club in San Diego. Fantastic steaks and very nice bar. Mmmm.

Yeah, lots of Korean and Mongolian places specialize in letting peeps cook their own meat.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, you passed me today omnis, I`m south of Holbrook. Meteor crater is great, isn`t it? I ignored it for years, then a friend visiting wanted to see it and I`m so glad I went.
I don`t know quite how to say this, but the skinwalker thing is real, although significantly more serious than the way you`re understanding it just now. Although, they were unlikely to be a threat to you just passing through. But the area he told you not to stop in is my stomping ground. Heh. Glad you`re having a good trip.

Yikes! OK. Now I'm curious. But not so much that I want to encounter.
Sad I missed a f2f opportunity. Dang it. Sorry about that.

Liese, did Hillerman's books get it right? 'cause that's where I got all of my info about stuff like that!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, omnis, no prob. It`s hard on trips like this to figure out schedule and stuff. If you`d been through yesterday I`d have been directly on your path at one of my locations. Today ended up hectic for me.
Hillerman has clearly spent a lot of time out here and is close, but no cigar. Interestingly at least one of his books dealing with skinwalkers takes place in what was literally my backyard in New Mexico. It`s the location of part of the Navajo creation story (Changing Woman). That specific mesa was the property next to my house.
