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 ;)

Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, USA

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.

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

Won't you get hip to this timely tip

When you make that California trip

Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six...

As seen out & about.

From a slide I took in March 1977 in St Fillians, Perthshire.

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.

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

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.

As seen in Leeds.

I've got a pretty huge backlog of pics at this point, so I think I'll start multiple daily posts. This was taken at Castle Rock, which is also in Gove County Kansas. There are a few standalone formations like this one, but there is also a badlands area with extensively-worn rock cliffs. I thought that the best way to handle these was to go the monochrome route-- there's not much in the way of color, and the sky was cloudless.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

On the ninth day of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation rail blockade in Ontario - a day after CN announced it would "shut down its Eastern Canada network" - a handful of trains took the scenic route over the Ontario Northland Railway to reach their respective destinations of Toronto (southbound) and Northern Quebec (northbound). Here, detoured CN stack train no. 149 is seen racing southbound along ONR's Temagami Subdivision, kicking up snow by the line's gorgeous namesake station.

As seen going past the shopping area.

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?

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

As seen in Woodford. Pouring rain yet again and I wasn't getting out of the car to take it!

SL - Superloop - routes explained:

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.
