Day 3: Sunday, August 29: Willowbrook, Illinois to Springfield, Illinois Approximately 200 miles After a short safety briefing and receiving information of the highlights of the days travels, it’s time to climb onto the saddle and head southwest through Joliet, IL, before beginning our trek across the Land of Lincoln. We will be following the path of the historic route and experiencing many Route 66 icons along the way, including a stop to pay tribute to the Gemini Giant Muffler Man in Wilmington, IL. Then we will enjoy Lunch at an authentic, and recently renovated, Route 66 eatery in Dwight Then it’s off through Odell and on into Pontiac, where lots of Route 66 abounds. Next we join the super-slab on the way to Funks Grove before entering Atlanta, the home of Tall Paul! The group rejoins the super-slab for the last leg of today’s journey that will end in Springfield, IL at the Hotel, followed by dinner/refreshments at Motorheads. Day 4: Monday, August 30: Springfield, Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri Approximately 175 miles An early visit to the Cozy Drive-In prepares us for another great day along this famous old highway. Our travels will take us along the original Portland cement path of the 1918 Illinois State Route 4 (the 1926 -1930 alignment of 66) to Pawnee Junction, then we turn west to cross over a 1.4 mile section of early brick paving of 66. Then on through Auburn, Virden and Nilwood before proudly riding into the quaint, brick paved square of Carlinville. The group returns to the 1930 -1940 alignment of 66 in Litchfield just in time for Lunch. After lunch, we travel through Mt. Olive on the way to a visit with Rich at his Ra66it Ranch in Staunton, IL. Leaving Staunton, the group follows the old road through Hamel, Edwardsville and Mitchell to a scenic view of the majestic Chain of Rocks Bridge. We then cross over the mighty Mississippi and into Missouri. After skirting around St. Louis we end our travels for today on “The Hill”, famous for it’s Italian Restaurants, on the way to our Hotel for the night. After Dinner, we visit a “cool” icon of old Route 66 located on Chippewa Street. Day 5: Tuesday, August 31: St. Louis, Missouri to Lebanon, Missouri Approximately 175 miles After covering some two-lane 66 and old motels and neon signs through Webster Groves and Crestwood, we join the super-slab as we head westward and enter the beautiful Ozarks of Missouri. Today’s tour features a superb ride along two-lane 66 through several small towns from Pacific to Cuba before joining the super-slab into Rolla where the group will enjoy a unique culinary treat for Lunch. Heading further west on 66, the group encounters some early four-lane 66, the famous Hooker Cut and Devil’s Elbow. Ready for some more two-lane 66 across the Missouri Ozarks? No problem. The tour follows old 66 through Waynesville, Buckhorn, Gascozark, Hazelgreen with a stop at an endangered historic Route 66 bridge Then we head for Lebanon where we will hold-up for the night at an authentic 1945 Route 66 period Motel. Day 6: Wednesday, September 1: Lebanon, Missouri to Miami, Oklahoma Approximately 185 miles Today, after a stop at a Route 66 Museum, a combination of I-44 and the old two-lane roadbed is placed behind us on the way to Springfield, Missouri. Beyond Springfield, the old highway heads west toward the famous Gary Turner’s Sinclair Station. Just like a very pleasant step back in time, old 66 continues through the scenic Ozark countryside along an old roadbed that has dependably served our country for over 90+ years. Lunch is in Carthage at an old Diner before we push west and over the Whoopee Bridge and past the 66 Drive-In Theatre toward Joplin and the State of Kansas. The path of old 66 entering Kansas winds through the Hell’s Half Acre area and into the sleepy coal mining town of Galena. After a pit stop at Cars on the Route, the hunt is on for the only remaining Marsh Arch Bridge located on Route 66. Baxter Springs is the final town along the mere 13.2 miles of old 66 through Kansas and then we cross into Oklahoma and our first glimpse of Native American country. On through Quapaw (pronounced O-Gah-Pah), Commerce and Miami (pronounced Mi-am-ah) where we stop for the night. Tonight’s Dinner will be Bison Burgers at a 1965 survivor of old Route 66! Ku Ku! Day 7: Thursday, September 2: Miami, Oklahoma to Bethany, Oklahoma Approximately 200 miles In 1926, from Miami to Afton, 66 consisted of a paved road that was only 9’ wide. Today, a rare and surviving section of that original roadbed may still be carefully experienced. Buffalo’s anyone? Then on through Vinita, Chelsea, Foyil, Claremore and on to Catoosa where the world famous Blue Whale waits on us! Once in the saddle again, we travel along Tulsa’s Route 66 on the way to Lunch. Buck Atom’s and the historic Meadow Gold neon sign is our next stop before a stop at the Cyrus Avery Centennial Park and 11th Street Bridge. On we head west through Sapulpa, along some original Ozark Trail, through Bristow and Stroud to then view the only remaining Ozark Trail Obelisk on Route 66. Next through Chandler and then on to Arcadia, passing a Round Barn and stopping at Pop’s!. Entering “Oklahoma City … is mighty pretty”, as we join some super-slab again, then once on NW 39th Expressway, a few old neon signs along the old highways flanks return as we head toward our Hotel and a well deserved and tasty dinner! Day 8: Friday, September 3: Bethany, Oklahoma to Amarillo, Texas Approximately 256 miles West of Bethany, we travel through Yukon and El Reno where we will experience a scenic ride along a pristine 1931 Portland cement roadbed on our way west to Weatherford. Next up is Clinton where we will stop at the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum & Gift Shop. We then encounter more 1931 Portland cement roadbed. Between Clinton and Sayre, the historic alignment has been severed many times by I-40 construction, so we will travel as much as we can before heading for a surprise Hillbilly Luncheon in Erick, the Redneck Capital of the World!. Next up is Texola and then we cross over into The Lone Star State where the roadbed is long and straight through Shamrock and through McLean. A stop at Alanreed, prepares us for the long super-slab ride into Amarillo and the end of another perfect day along the old and historic Route 66! Day 9: Saturday, September 4: Amarillo, Texas to Santa Rosa, New Mexico Approximately 175 miles Amarillo has many hidden jewels that most Route 66 Travelers completely miss experiencing however, we will travel Amarillo Boulevard and see the old businesses and neon signs and then make some stops along Historic SW 6th Street, the original alignment through Amarillo, before heading west to the Cadillac Ranch. Spray cans ready … yes, we will spray and “brand” the #2 Cadillac! Photos! Heading west along side of I-40, Route 66 allures us into a world of our own as we forget about the mindless rush of the cars and trucks on the super-slab. The famous Midpoint Café is our Lunch stop today where we celebrate the midpoint of our Riding Route 66 Tour. Time for the super-slab on our way to the ghost town Glenrio with its four lane divided road. Entering New Mexico’s Big Sky Country prompts us for a stop at Russell’s and their Auto Museum! Traveling along the old 66 alignments as we head west is the same way millions of folks have migrated/traveled west over the decades is truly humbling.

    Same Location ~!IIiiiiJi'" for 50 Years! Historic Route 66 stretches across the U.S. from Chicago to Los Angeles. Along the way, in Lebanon, Missouri is a growing popular landmark stop for any history enthusiast, tourist, or local Ozark resident. Shepherd Hills Factory Outlets started in the outlet business in 1972 as an outlet for locally made Walnut Bowls. Ida and Rea Reid, founders, began their entrepreneurship operating a motel in the 1960's called the Capri Motel which was located right along Route 66, known today as Interstate 44.. They sold the Capri Motel in 1966 and along with their sons, Rod and Randy, started a new business in 1972 called the Shepherd Hills Gift Shop which was leased as a part of the Shepherd Hills Motel and happened to be located in virtually the same spot as the Capri Motel. Later, as they began expanding, they bought a portion of the motel as well as the gift shop and began construction of their current building in 1999. In the meantime, Shepherd Hills added additional locations including those in Osage Beach, MO, Branson, MO, and Eddyville, KY , and brought in other quality products to the lineup including Chicago Cutlery, Denby Pottery, and of course Case XX pocketknives--making the latter also available through catalog mail order and eventually on the web at www.CaseXX.com. Lebanon is one of the best places to see the Mother Road, which was officially named right here in Missouri. You can drive a 5-mile section of the original road, and commemorative Route 66 signs will help guide your drive.

  • The Whiting Tree
    The Whiting Tree Vol. 2, No. 9 JUNE 1983 .4, LYNN SULLIVAN WHITING The story of Lynn Sullivan Whiting as told by his wife, Lola Gladys Whiting and their children. Lynn Sullivan Whiting was born November 18, 1893, in Mapleton, Utah. His parents were Edwin Marion Whiting and Anna Maria Isaacson. He was one of nine children. When just a small child he travelled in a wagon from Mapleton, Utah to St. Johns, Arizona where he lived out the rest of his life. Our story begins at a carnival in St. Johns. Lynn was twenty-three and Gladys was thirteen. Gladys recalls that she and her sister, Ivy, were riding on the new attraction. Lynn was also on the merry-go-round. That evening when the merry-go-round was closing, Lynn asked Gladys if he could take them both home, they agreed. They became friends fast. Soon after they met he left for school. For the next six months he was learning and becoming more knowledgeable about mechanics. His school was in Chicago. He wrote to her all the time he was gone. When he returned, they started going together. Because of Gladys age it was about one year before they could be married with her father's blessing. As an engagement present, Lynn gave her a chain with a pearl and diamond pendant. He also gave her a Doctrine and Covenants and a Pearl of Great Price. Finally on April 28, 1917, with the blessings of her father, they were married. The wedding took place in Bishop Rencher’s home in St.

  • Land Use Services Department Planning Staff Report
    1 of 197 LAND USE SERVICES DEPARTMENT PLANNING STAFF REPORT HEARING DATE: December 19, 2013 AGENDA ITEM NO: 2 Project Description: Applicant: Land Use Services Department Proposal: An ordinance to amend Title 8 of the County Code to revise the development standards for adult-oriented businesses, to revise the locational criteria for such businesses, to add a new land use review process to approve an adult-oriented business, to revise the definitions related to adult-oriented businesses Community: Countywide Location: Countywide Project No: P201300604 Staff: Jim Squire BACKGROUND: The County of San Bernardino initially adopted adult-oriented businesses regulations in 1985. The last comprehensive revision to these initial provisions was in 1991, with the adoption of Ordinance 3465. The proposed ordinance is a comprehensive revision of the County’s existing regulations for adult uses and addresses licensing and permitting provisions; operating standards for adult facilities and zoning limitations for adult-oriented businesses. The purpose and intent of the proposed amendments to the San Bernardino County Code are to: (1) mitigate and reduce the judicially recognized potential adverse secondary effects of adult- oriented businesses including, but not limited to, crime, the prevention of blight in neighborhoods, and the increased spread of sexually transmitted diseases; (2) protect quality of life and neighborhoods in the County, the County’s retail and commercial trade, and local property values, and minimize the potential for nuisances related to the operation of adult-oriented businesses; (3) protect the peace, welfare and privacy of persons who own, operate and/or patronize adult- oriented businesses; and (4) minimize the potential for nuisance related to the operation of adult-oriented businesses.

  • A Short History of the E M Whiting Homestead
    A Short History of the E M Whiting Homestead When Edwin and Mariah moved their family back to Arizona from Mapleton in 1901 they purchased property at The Meadows, about 6 miles NW of St Johns on the Little Colorado River. Other places they lived and purchased property in the years prior to moving to the current homestead were in St Johns and Greer Valley. A careful reading of the materials and documents submitted by Edwin Marion for the current Whiting homestead we find that he had filed papers to prove a homestead at or near The Meadows. On the initial Homestead Entry application, dated February 10, 1914 for the current Whiting homestead there is an item requiring a certified response: “…; and that I have not heretofore made any entry under the homestead laws (except I filed on a Homestead, at the Phoenix Land Office, land on Little Colorado, and Relinquished in 1910 ); ….”. As a result of this statement the Homestead Entry was suspended at the land office until a statement from Edwin Marion regarding this prior entry application was submitted. The required sworn statement regarding the prior Homestead Entry was submitted on March 11, 1914 by Edwin Marion to the Phoenix Land Office. From his sworn statement the following information is learned: …; That he made Homestead entry No,05381, in Section Four Twp 14 R.25 E., and that the same was relinquished on the 10th day of January, 1911, to the best of his knowledge and belief. Further that he sold his improvements on the said homestead to one Milo Webb of Snowflake, Arizona; That the amount of improvements actually on the said Homestead and which was sold to the said Milo Webb are as follows, viz ; Approximately three and one-half miles of barbed wire fence which fenced the homestead in connection with a Rail-road section fenced in connection therewith and approximately one and three-fourths miles of fence on the said homestead.

  • Historic Resource Survey of Route 66 in Arizona
    An Historic Resource Survey of ROUTE 66 IN ARIZONA An Historic Resource Survey of ROUTE 66 IN ARIZONA Prepared for: ARIZONA STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE 1300 W. Washington St. Phoenix, AZ 85007 By: MOTLEY DESIGN GROUP, LLC 1114 Grand Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85007 (602) 254‐5599 www.motleydesigngroup.com MDG Project # 11‐004 May, 2012 Introduction In recent years U.S. Route 66 has become a popular historical‐tourism destination for countless Americans and international travelers. This highway, which “runs from Chicago to L.A.,” has been singled out in the popular imagination as an icon representing American road culture and as a symbol of the freedom afforded by the automobile. In response to this high degree of public interest, in 1999 an act of Congress resulted in the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program, administered by the National Park Service. Among other activities, the program provides grants to the affected states for the identification and prioritization of Route 66 related resources. In 2010, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office was awarded such a grant, intended to fund a comprehensive survey of potential Route 66 resources in Arizona, from the California state line to the New Mexico state line. Motley Design Group, teamed with SWCA Environmental Consultants, was retained to perform the survey. The bulk of the field survey was completed in four trips occurring between April, 2011 and August, 2011. This report is a summary of the team’s findings.
