I am jumping ahead to this. I am usually at least a month behind the posts on the Route 66 News blog. Lately, I've been much further behind.
From the October 9, 2020, Route 66 News site.
This blog, as far as I am concerned, the BEST blog out there for Route 66, started on this date back 15 years ago by Ron Warnick. As you know, this is the basis of my Along 66 items. I used to have e-mail alerts to Route 66 that I used, but why go anywhere else when you have this great "Clearinghouse" of information. If there is anything you want to know about what is currently happening along the Mother Road this is where you want to go.
In a few weeks, Ron figures to have his 10,000th post.
His most popular post so far was "A Route 66 Guide to the Cars Movie." If you are a "Cars" movie fan, you will want to read this as it tells you what everything in the movie was based on.
Mr. Warnick says he started Route 66 News as a way to keep happenings along the road more timely. Most Route 66 magazines are published quarterly so information was old even when they first hit the news stands.
His initial goal was to print at least one story a day and he often has more than one story a day.
Like his masthead says, Route 66 News is "A clearinghouse of news and events along historic Route 66, the Mother Road."
Also, this was my first blog of way too many and started on April 26, 2006, so it is now 14 years old.
Job Well Done Ron Warnick. Keep It Up!! --RoadDog
