Day 19 Route 66

The road to Route 66 were long straight and boring. Its' an old truckers route. This would be my second time there. Pretty much a one street town. It is definitely worth seeing for a bunch of memorabilia and stuff.
I knew as soon as we pulled in we would get another 15 minutes of fame. People from all over the world travel just to see this place. As a matter of fact there was another pretty big bunch of bikes from South America that had pulled in. We were taking pictures of them and visa versa. It didn't turn out to be that much of a fundraising spot this time. Probably about 100 bucks in a hours which is not bad as there  wasn't a whole lot of people.


This group of bikers were something to see themselves. Can you believe a guy would wear a speedo on a motorcycle with this boots... Eeeew, what a site that was, plus he had matching blue hair to go with it. They were probably on a mission of their own, so I should not judge.
By this time we were loosing our mojo so to speak. The fundraising was getting harder. It was getting difficult to tell our story or ask for donations. I'm sure it would come back to us, hopefully.
By the end of the day we were beyond tired again from riding in the heat, it was time to find a  place to stay and at least take a couple layers off our bike. Where would that be?? Hot hot hot it was getting to be again.
