Crikey!
I well remember that, seeing those photos brings back many memories!

Paris Springs as I recall; a part of Route 66 that would seem to be relatively untouched.
I remember too that you gave us a couple of maps; I can't now recall of what areas, but I do know that they were used so often they quite literally fell apart.

And look at the size of the gut on me! Ya wouldn't know me now; I've lost over 40 kg (90 lbs,) and kept it off too. (The downside of that is I've had to buy more trousers. The old ones, on the new me, made me look like a pick-axe in a sack.)

(I notice too the ubiquitous cigarette in my hand...that hasn't changed!)

Thanks for that mate.
Thanks for the pictures.
And thanks for going out of your way to help strangers bumbling their way around in a strange (to them,) country.
It was much appreciated.
You're a good man.
