Graystone Heights Modern Cabins, on Route 66, is l

Graystone Heights Modern Cabins, on Route 66, is located in the country west of Springfield, Missouri. *The owners have a business next door, but the address for both places are the same I believe.

Graystone Modern Cabins were built in the mid 1930s and initially had 6 cabins. There was a cafe and a gas station. The business has been closed for quite awhile, but in 2014, the neon sign was restored.

The Route 66 Roadside Park in Springfield is a nice relaxing spot to just stop a few minutes and see the local beauty. There’s flowers, shade trees, the Giant Hamburg replica sign, a Route 66 shaped bike rack, and HOPEFULLY in the near future, a rescued neon sign and a rebuilt version of a Lurvey Court cabin, using the original bricks and rocks. Across the street from the park is a mosaic wall. It’s a neat little place and has great potential to be even better!! There’s lots to see on Route 66 in Springfield, Missouri, THE Birthplace of Route 66.

Stewart’s Petrified Wood Shop, located along Route 66 east of Holbrook, Arizona, clearly has more to see than petrified wood!!! Man, what a fun and quirky place!! They have several cool scenes like this, plus amazing rocks, fossils, etc. You know what else they have? Ostriches!!! For a small fee, you can buy food to feed the ostriches. Very fun experience 💛

We absolutely love Seligman, Arizona, on Route 66!!!! What’s not to love? The town is full of fun, quirk, great food, and nice people. We took this photo outside Delgadillo’s Snow Cap Drive-In. If you love quirk, humor, old cars, yummy burgers, fries, ice cream, and more, be sure to stop by👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

One last photo of the Painted Desert National Park

One last photo of the Painted Desert National Park (& Petrified Forest National Park), for a while anyway. I was disappointed when I FINALLY made it there, it was a cloudy day. But seriously, I was looking at all wrong. This is God’s art, and it’s amazing and beautiful, even on a cloudy day! If I want a different view, maybe I can return on a sunny day, especially since the Painted Desert Trading Post is next door to the east (private property, but we gladly allow visitors) Trust me, cloudy or not, visit these spectacular parks, you won’t be disappointed!! *Allow most of a day... The parks are beside I-40, east of Holbrook, Arizona. An old section of Route 66 went right thru the Painted Desert.

When storks really did deliver babies... lol On a serious note, I believe it’s an honor to get a glimpse into the past seeing petroglyphs 💛🤍💛 I took this photo at the Petrified Forest National Park.

Did you know Route 66 used to go through through the Painted Desert? And of course the Painted Desert is connected to the Petrified Forest. I photographed this scene on a cloudy day at the Petrified Forest, east of Holbrook, Arizona. The beauty of this area...🥰 And even the idea of petrified trees, simply amazing! Stay tuned the next couple days for more photos from the park👍🏻

I wanted to show you another beautiful state capitol along Route 66, before I dig into my “out west” 66 photos. (I’m having desert fever...)

This photo doesn’t even begin to show how beautiful this magnificent capitol building in Springfield, Illinois is! Walking around it felt like seeing a French castle, inside and out. Construction on the capitol began in 1868. If you are visiting Springfield, take the tour here!!! It’s a true work of art everywhere you look, especially when looking up into the top of the dome 😻
