"Life is adventure~" Yaqui's Profile

Me on google!

Howdy!!

Life is an adventure whether it is within your own country or abroad. I've been to some very special and unique places that most folks wouldn't even think about adding. I find every place I see and experience as special and VT worthy. Just remember "Happy Trails, Keep the Faith and Keep Dreaming!"~

I have a many pages that I have only one tip, but will be adding to them slowly.

Route 66

Route 66~The Mother Road

Route 66 was established in 1926 and it extended from Chicago Illinois to the beautiful shores of Santa Monica California. Called The Mother Road, it stretched 2, 448 miles across the good old USA. Growing up, we drove frequently from Colorado to California to visit family along this route. This was of course before hand held video games, DVD’s, cell phones, or air-conditioned cars.

Did you know for about 1,000 miles (1,600 km), I-40 follows the general route of the Beale Wagon Road from Arkansas to California. The Beale Wagon Road was built in 1857-59 by a team led by Lt. Edward Fitzgerald Beale using a team of camels as pack animals.

Randsburg, Ca

Living or Ghost Towns of the West

These communities have so much in common because of the lure of Gold, Silver, Borates, Tunsten, and Salt in the hopes of making millions or just to make a simple living and a home. California, Nevada and Arizona has so many abandon or living ghost towns to explore. Nothing like hitting the road and exploring these wonderful pieces of history. Sometimes we dwell on what we don't have, but when you visit places like these, it makes me appreciate what simple pleasure we have today.

MURALS - ROCK!

To me murals are very much part of our local history. I can remember traveling the countryside and seeing the old advertisements of Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, John Deer, etc. Erected on the side of some old country barn or along some lonesome drug store along Main Street. By the way, have you ever notice that most old towns have a main street:)!

Happy Trails and More To Come!!

One of my favorite things to do is to stop (if safely) and enjoy all those historical markers you see along the highways or any where else you may find them. You just never know where they are. I am really keen is finding them. My hubby says I have radar when it comes to them. I will always add them to "things to see or do" or "off the beaten path". They are like finding a treasure and sometimes especially in California they are like a treasure hunt. So enjoy them when you see one. They are usually a wealth of information of local history!

Checkout the Historical Marker Data Base. History is being preserved for generations!

I live on two acres at the corner of my neighborhood. My neighbors know my Missy a saddlebred mare, a 1100 lb wonder of strength and love. What's a saddlebred you say? Here is a link what a American Saddlebred is. They also know if you call out her name she will stop what she is doing and look up and ninny at you. So folks here will stop just to see her react to her name. One of neighbors said they love seeing her every day as they head home up the road. We are both retired from riding, so her days are filled with being loved and sun bathing in her favorite sandy spot in her corral.
