Come help us to celebrate 100 years of America’s most iconic highway! A week of cars, food, music, beautiful scenery, and classic Americana! We will be heading up to Amarillo to start, then along Route 66 out to Oatman, AZ. We will have plenty of stops along the way, including Winslow, AZ for the “Standin on the Corner” Music Festival. On the way home will be a scenic drive through Sedona, several national forests, White Sands, Ruidoso, and Roswell. So fix up that project in the garage, rent a classic on Turo, or just hop in your daily and lets hit the open road!
If you are thinking about joining us, you should reserve your hotels now before they fill up for Centennial traffic. You can always cancel later if things don’t work out.
