Default The Mother Road - US Route 66

I took some pics of Route 66 as it runs East of Oklahoma City - I'm not a big history buff, but for some reason this particular road makes me think of simpler times and more rest and relaxation. Thought you might like to see!!

Route 66

Sorry Sass,
I gotta agree with "Pal"
We all know that he and I would bust the camera... but certainly not you and your family!

Sorry, guys, my husband had to work so I took a ride by myself. Kinda difficult to be behind the camera and in front of it at the same time!!!

Do what I do... Balance the camera on top of something like a sweatshirt wadded up on a mailbox, set the timer, trip on the way back to the bike and land in a heap and watch the camera fall off the pile as it goes off... Getting a great picture of the sky...

Post your pics so I can see what it's like to LIVE!
