Imagine a caravan of 20 different VWs, from very old to brand new...it was great! We took a detour off the main Route 66 and went through a very old town called Depew. The town's main street was Route 66 many years ago, but was bypassed by a newer alignment probably in the 1950s! We took the old alignment and drove the few blocks through town...honking our horns. It was like an instant parade and the few folks that were out stopped and clapped.
We just had a blast. We all took our hand held radios with us and programed them to the same channel, then I would read to them out of Joshua's Route 66 Guide little tidbits of info about each town we went through.
