Yeah, it does. I'd have to find out the exact route though. I know that the Route 66 enthusiasts are pushing hard to get it recognized as an official route again. And yes, I'd like to get my kicks on Route 66 . Here's the URL to the Route 66 Society:

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Have you ever been up in the Highlands of Boone, NC? I like it there and I love shopping at Blowing Rock, ever been there? I bought me a dulcimer there a few years back from a man that owned a shop there. Ever now and then I get it out and plonk on it. I'm just not musically inclined!

We stayed at the Swiss Mountain Village resort in Blowing Rock for two weeks when we were in N.C. You are right. It is a beautiful area. Unfortunately, my husband developed a blood infection in his leg from a cut while we were there and he spent the first week in the hospital in Boone. But, because of that, we ended up staying for the second week.
I would love to beable to play the dulcimer, but I am also musically disadvantaged
I've been on Route 66 and didn't even know at the time that basically everyone knew what was,lol. But I did have a good time fishing with me da, didn't catch anything but had fun just the same. Today didn't go to well either, had a conflict dealing with religion with my mom and step da again, go tinto a fight with step brother. But I did go visit some of my friends that are senior citzens, now I', waiting for Tuesday to come so I can go to Collegedale with a bunch of friends and just hang out from 7 until whenever we feel like going home.

I'm checking over the wolf pack movements in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I will be entering the BWCA on September 13th. It will be five days with 4 of my brothers and my nephew. One of my brothers is hoping to call some wolves while we are there (he's done it on his TV program in the past). Good news is there have been sightings, just last month, around the area we will be in.
Thanks so much, CelticRose. The Parkway is beautiful and the scenery is spectacular. We'll probably travel the BR Parkway some when we travel down to the Smokies.

You know I never made it as far as Boone, NC. I always wanted to. I got up there pretty high on the BR Pkway and can't remember now how far, but have the photos to prove it! LOL Spectacular beautiful country! You are all blessed to be there. I miss it. However, I love Arizona so very much and even though some people would think the desert ugly, I somehow see a special beauty in it.......odd, eh? However, lately it has been hotter than Hades! What's worse is that it has been humid too! Ugh!
Ooh! Now I have been to Blowing Rock! The Last of the Mohicans was filmed there so I had to see it!
I love dulcimers but I have no musical ability whatsoever. Wouldn't do me to buy one...LOL

Maggie! Sadly, I have never been to Boone, NC! I have been as far up as south of Boone and have the photos to prove it, but doggone if I can remember where! I would have to get my map out and tell ya. It is such beautiful country. I miss it there. However, I am very happy to be back in my Arizona. Some people either really love or hate the desert, I happen to really love it! There is just something about it I really love and find so majestic.
I love dulcimers, but would never buy one because I have no musical ability either! would do me to pay the money!
Oops! I double posted! Any of you kind moderators want to delete one of them? My computer went wonky on me and I didn't think it posted.........found out otherwise! Thanks!

Ooh! cool site MDF! Now I have traveled some of the Route 66 myself and have collected a lot of Route 66 stuff along the way! I am a major collector of Route 66 paraphernalia! Anyway, two years ago I was up in Williams, AZ and there was a motorcycle team there from Switzerland driving the Route 66 route. We went and talked to them. It was so cool. My hubby has a real affinity for motorcycles Anyway, he at one time had a 1966 Triumph Bonneville! Really cool machine!
Looking for ways to delay going to bed so that tomorrow won't come so soon! I have to go to the hospital for my breathing tests and CT scan tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Allen! I can feel your fear and trepidation and to be honest with you, I would be like that too. I know we have faith and trust in God, but doesn't mean we still can't be scared. You have been and still are in my prayers!
I will definitely take all the prayers I can get! You guys have been the best! I really appreciate the support and love I've felt from you! And I truly love all of you too and pray for you every night!
Well, I guess I'd better quit delaying the inevitable and go to bed so I won't feel like poop in the morning!
Here it's already tomorrow...so I'll pray for your night to be as good as possible Wizard. Good luck my friend.
