Greetings from Highway 50! We live 1 block off of this great highway as it passes through southwest Kansas. Any time any of you are traveling through, stop in and say hi.

Thanks for introducing me to Highway 50. There’s nothing my husband likes better than a road trip.

was that ‘unfortunately I COULD go in and browse (at the bookstore) or did you mean I could NOT go in and browse? Either way I understand.

thanks for the roadtrip!! Hwy 50 really is a very cool road. We loved Kansas scenery and your picture ws very nice. We know so many people — from both coasts — who feel like the middle part of the country is not worth visiting. But we really enjoyed our time there.

I’m going to have to tell the hubby about Highway 50. He and our son took a 3 week motorcycle trip last year and this might be something for the future. The landscape had it all…starkness and breathtaking sights!!

Word Lily/Hannah and Barbara:
Route 66 has wonderful memories for me too. Back in the 1950’s I traveled with my family down that highway as we moved from Wisconsin to California. Over the years we’ve traveled it many times. Today big chunks of it have been eaten up by Interstate 40. Many small towns along the way are now featuring the old Route 66 that used to come through their towns. Many Boomer-age people are traveling back down memory lane and the small towns are trying to take advantage of that. It’s a nice trend.

I lived 2 minutes off of 50 when I lived in Arlington, Virginia. I never knew it went coast to coast! I would love to take a road trip like this. If only I could get Jason to take the time off to do it right

Route 66 is my highway. I grew up on it, for a while we actually lived in a house in Ill. right next to it, and we traveled on it frequently to see my relatives in Ariz. Many memories of that one, for instance back in the 1940s when our car would overheat going over the Rockies.
