I am travelling historic Route 66 over the next two weeks. I have to go to San Diego on business and my employer has agreed to pay me equivalent airfare to take my Mini Cooper S.
So, the plan is: to take two weeks to travel from Chicago to Los Angeles following what's left of America's “Mother Road” and see lots of the sights in between; I then have to spend a week in San Diego on business; and then I plan to take about six days to drive home.
I left home (Ottawa, Canada) on 10 August and started the actual Route 66 portion of the trip on 11 August as I passed through Chicago.
You can follow along with Tony on his trip via his website: www.magma.ca/~alderton/route66/index.htm. To see photos of his trip so far check out the map portion of his site here.
<p>Very neat story. Reminds me of Blue Highways. Exactly what motoring should be.</p>
<p>If Tony starts in Chicago and takes Ogden, he'll pass within 6 blocks of my house. That should make a grand total of <em>2</em> MINIs in town!</p>
<p>Down here in San Diego, we're planning on somethin' special with Tony while he's here. Pics and words when it eventuates.</p>

I'm getting a Mini Cooper this year…</p>
<p>Maybe next time I'll follow you.</p>
