Day 7 – Carthage MO to Tulsa OK
The laptop I purchased especially for this trip turned out to be a crippled one. So there will be no pictures made by me (Dink) until I get home. Uploading them with this computer is a mission impossible. Yesterday morning, after a perfect stay at the Boots Court Motel (strongly recommended if you want to … Continue reading
Day 3 – Berlin OH to Indianapolis IN, pictures
Yesterday (Day 3, June 25th) when we left Berlin Ohio it was hot again, temperatures were in the 80’s (for the Dutch readers: above 30′ C). The day before we had to wait a long time to spot a few of the typical Amish horse-and-buggies, yesterday they were all over the town. This is America’s … Continue reading

Bagging for less
As mentioned earlier we definitely have to save on weight and volume. Especially because one of the crew members is female, which means we will have to stow like six extra pairs of shoes. Girls… ~sigh~ 😛 Purposely for this cross country trip I bought a Samsonite softbag from the paradiver series. With its length … Continue reading
Thank you mister internet!
Saying the internet has changed the world is like kicking in an open door. Maybe it’s so obvious that we are not fully aware of what it means to our lives. But when you start thinking about it… Take this Route 66 adventure: without the internet there would be no route66alfa blog. Without the internet … Continue reading
Looking forward… and back
One hundred days to go… I’m looking forward to this trip very much and that little itch of excitement won’t go away. At this moment there’s not much to tell about. Fred is working on some upgrades for Giulia, I am reading my Route 66 literature. Five hundred fifty nine days ago… not only looking … Continue reading
