Coyote Gulch’s excellent EV adventure: “Get your kicks, on Route 66”

Tower Building in Shamrock, Texas erected in the early 1930s on U.S. Route 66.

On the drive from Thanksgiving dinner to CRWUA with Hellchild I was able to trace some of the route of old U.S. 66. I’ve really enjoyed the drive from Missouri to Arizona so far and last night we feasted on some great Indian (East) food in Holbrook. Forested hills to more open country, then Cholla and Mesquite, the mesa country in New Mexico, beautiful desert landscapes W. of Albuquerque, the S. edge of the Colorado Plateau in the Ponderosa pine forest, and farms, ranches, and windmills galore all the way! We didn’t have a good map but we crossed the Arkansas, Pecos, Rio Grande, and Little Colorado rivers over the past couple of days. Las Vegas is the destination today.

The Tesla Model Y has performed flawlessly and the charging is a breeze due to the integration with the onboard navigation.
