Virginia Beach, Virginia - after an 1100 mile exhausting drive over two days from New Orleans, Louisiana I arrived back in Virginia Beach, Virginia to concluded my “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure … my “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure was a 60-day journey over 7200 miles that took “Flo” and I as far west as the Rockies in Colorado … so many smiles from so many old and new pARTy Pals made it a smile-riffic adventure … my 1st pARTy Beverage & smiles were at the “Run-A-Way Bill” comfort zone bar “Icehouse” with “Run-A-Way Bill” Favorite bartender “Lauren” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #IcehouseVB #rabIcehouseVB #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia #rabWestwardHo2022 Thursday 12.29.22 (at Ice House Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0oLtFu5lC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Orleans, Louisiana - “The Friendly Bar” is a bar of friendly neighborhood “unique” characters - and lots of smiles … a full Christmas buffet was a super surprise … bartender “Bill” welcomed me into the the FRIENDLY “village” making sure I enjoyed the Christmas buffet of tasty-riffic food … several locals chatted with me and made me feel like one of the characters … one fellow introduced me to eye glasses that turned all the ceiling lights into snowmen - a cool smile 😃 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabTheFriendlyBar #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBARSofNOLA #rabBARSofLouisiana #rabBARSofLouisiana #rabBarUSA #rabChristmas #rabNOLA #NOLA #rabNewOrleans #NewOrleans #rabLouisiana #Louisiana #rabWestwardHo2022 Christmas Day Sunday 12.25.22 (at The Friendly Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoQvZzuPCM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - other than the neons, much if the bar flair came from the owner’s basement … a “fishing lure collection” and much more not pictures here … “Bosco’s” is named after the owner’s pal “Bosco” who was a true hobo who traveled the rails - pretty darn cool 👍😃 … Thank You Very pARTy Much for the trivia “Diane” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabBoscos #BoscosLounge #rabBarsOfAmarillo #rabBARSofRoute66 #rabBARSofTexas #rabBarUSA #rabBARmudaTriangleAmarillo #BARmudaTriangleRAB #rabAmarilloTX #AmarilloTexas #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas #rabWestwardHo2022 Monday 12.19.22 (at Bosco's Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmb7ZpWJKJn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GlenRio, Texas - “bye-bye” New Mexico & “hello” Texas … a new state comes with new time zone - just lost an hour 🙄 … Exit 0 leads to ghost town GlenRio and the original “Historic Route 66” Route - a 14 mile bumpy dirt road … with Texas also comes the smell of future hamburgers - a mile of cattle waiting to feed America … the smell of thousands of cattle pooping (and/or farting) is almost gagging 🤢 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabStateSign #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Glenrio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWWSihOizF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bard, New Mexico - the “Russell Truck Stop” museum is a magnificent walk down memory lane … the vehicles are truly wonderful, but so many nostalgic items give flashbacks of “I remember that!” - my barber chair is on display (need the twirling barber sign though) … I have missed the “Russell Truck Stop” experience in my previous “Historic Route 66” adventures … I have always taken the non-interstate Route along a 14-mile dirt road section of “Historic Route 66” from San Jon to GlenRio (like I did again this “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure just a few weeks ago) … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabFavoriteMemory #rabBettyBoop #BettyBoop #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Russell's Truck Stop & Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWUXgTuZUc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Encino, New Mexico - the “Flying C” truck stop has plenty of billboards along I-40 guiding you to their store that also sells gasoline … interestingly, the longest narrow gas station I’ve experience … the “Flying C” offers stuffed animals as attractions - a small young Buffalo can be had for just $1999 … the cow dishes had my interest - unfortunately “Made in China” 🙁 … that’s 2 I-40 “Historic Route 66” truck stops down for the day - the BEST is next! #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabRoute66GasStations #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Bowlin's Flying C Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWPpW8ut8U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stanley, New Mexico - a rare sighting (of anything) along “US Route 285” since my Santa Fe departure … spotted this building in middle of nowhere with a mural and decided to stretch my kegs … appears to have been an old Standard Oil gas station with possibly an outhouse … now a part of a cattle ranch based on barbed wire fence and cow poop … since Janine mentioned “prairie dogs” to me recently, I am “guessing” these holes “might” be prairie dog accommodations 🤔? interesting mural - maybe the local convicts were using the “prairie dog” technique to escape a local jail? #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabUSroute285 #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Stanley, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWK42LO0h9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
