In 1963, I Hitchhike Route 66, From Chicago To Santa Monica California, And Then Into Mexico, I Was 17. Images@kennethcanada.com

Loveland, Colorado to Colorado Springs

Normal route = 2.5 hours;

Adventure route = 7 hours ... including the time getting stuck in the snowbank and enlisting 5 strangers to the rescue ;)

I jumped out of the car to take this photo in poring rain and high winds - water droplets got to the lens - but I had to have a photo of a Routemaster!

Converted to monochrome.

A foggy day in Loughton. I really liked the old style direction fingerpost.

Apologies for not being so active here. Health reasons I'm sorry to say and at this point I fear it might be for most of 2023 before all matters are resolved.

Not really! It's a Route W14 scrolling through the blinds before leaving for Woodford Bridge.

As seen on a walk in Woodford, this Route 275 In Broadmead.

A very poor colour slide, which I've converted to monochrome and then given a sketch feel treatment.

Taken towards the end of 1972, the AEC Swift on Route 418 (which I think was run from Leatherhead Garage) really is a period scene from my childhood with cars like the Ford Anglia & Mk1 Cortina featured here as daily family transport.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip

Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six...

I *heart* VW bus.

Last week was such a long, tough week. I'm so glad it's over and am moving on...down Route 66 ;)

Tune: Route 66 - Natalie Cole and Diana Krall

The beaten trail: East Mother Road, Legendary

The shortest crossing to the Isle of Skye is from here, said to be the route Bonnie Prince Charlie took to escape from the English.

As seen on a walk in Chingford. Taken in March 2016.

Seen here on a part of Sewardstone Road it doesn't normally use. Due to resurfacing of a road it does use, it was diverted to the bottom of Kings Head Hill and right into Sewardstone Road coming from Chingford Station.

Despite the rural look it's two short stops away from a railway & bus station and a road full of shops.

Superloop Route SL2 in Ilford.

I was quite surprised to find that Sundays and Bank Holidays that the service was run by a large minibus. Even so - seen here in Loughton - it seems to be moving fresh air about. If services aren't used, they generally don't last.

Converted to monochrome. Taken through shelter glass.

Route 66 runs right by the Petrified Forest National Park. We only had a short amount of time available to go by some Route 66 spots. We have plans to spend more time on Route 66 the next time that we are in the area.

A recent closure of Chingford Lane meant quite a diversion for Route 275, seen here at the bottom of Friday Hill, from there turning right into Whitehall Road, right onto the A104 and line of route at The Castle.

As seen on a walk.

As seen in the grounds of Whipps Cross Hospital.

Route 66 nostalgia

A beautiful 57 Chevy along side route 66 (2 of 3)

Route 66 November 11, 1926-June 27, 1985

As seen on the stand at Chigwell Row, Essex.

I see the marketing aspect of painting the route up on the bus, but it really loses its flexibility, as it's bound to be used on other routes due to bus shortage for whatever reason.

Route 55 (a.k.a. Sognefjellsvegen in Norway) across the Sognefjell mountain area is the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe, with spectacular and wild mountain scenery.

It is the main gateway to the Jotunheimen National Park - Norway’s highest mountains.

Note the month this photo was taken in - does it look like July?

A Royal Gorge Route Railroad (then, Canon City and Royal Gorge) passenger train pauses near Hanging Bridge west of Gorge siding in the depths of Royal Gorge, west of Canon City, Colorado, on May 14, 1999. One of the world's highest suspension bridges, Royal Gorge Bridge, which spans the Arkansas River at a height of nearly 1000 feet, soars over the train. This locomotive is former Chicago and North Western Executive F7 No. 402, and lives on today pulling popular excursions through the Royal Gorge. (Update—No. 402 now as a “retirement job” of being on display at Canon City…)

As seen in Euston bus station on a walk in London.

Bus services were disrupted in the recent snow. Here we see a Route 179 in Station Road, Chingford, that would normally have gone to Ilford. To be going only as far as South Woodford is quite a curtailment. Luckily, an Ilford bus was only a few minutes behind this one.

As seen on a walk in Epping, Essex.
