John,I didn't notice when you'll be traveling.If you are driving through Gallup,NM during the daytime Mon-Sat give me a call and I'll buy you a cup and take you on a behind the scenes tour of one of the largest and oldest trading posts in the area. area code 505dash722dash3366....try to call a day before as I'm in and out (5 grandkids,school,babysitting and all that goes with it)if I'm not in leave a number and I'll call you back. Regards,Bill

Bill,

Thanks for the kind offer. If I'm driving through your area of the woods, I'll definitely give you call and it will be my shout for the coffee. A behind the scene tour sound great.

Cheers - John

Thanks everyone for the great advice, especially the food tips.

The consensus appears to be,

1. Get a AAA travel map
2. Use the secondary roads (blue roads?)
3. Must find and use Route 66
4. Watch the weather (still, cold maybe snow). Good tip we are experiences a heat wave at present.
5. Catch the southern reaches of the Grand Canyon

Some good tips also on getting a feel for 'Americana'. That's exactly what I want. Some people say that Australia is similar and I suppose it is in many ways, but I want to find what is different and what makes it America above all else.

Thanks again guys. It's making me very excited. The mamiya M7 will get a huge workout!

Cheers - John
