Historic Wagon Wheel Motel featuring Connie's Shoppe

For the last year and a half or so, I’ve been picking the brains of many historians, authors, travelers and business owners along Route 66. In addition to my o...wn personal experiences of being on the road, I wanted to absorb as much information and knowledge as possible to put together the best Route 66 itinerary out there. I had the privilege of talking to this man today, Jim Hinckley. I’ve read some of his work and looked up some stuff on his website but never spoke to him until today. Holy Moly! His voice to me in one word is comfort. You know how some people have that voice for radio. This man has a voice that you’d want to have read you a bedtime story every night. Two minutes into our conversation, I wanted to just dig into a piece of apple pie topped with vanilla ice-cream! I guess that’s why he does tours and speaking engagements in addition to his writing. Jim and I are setting up a time for him to meet up with our tour group. I’m thinking of making it a dinner event so our self drivers and bus people can both have the opportunity to meet this nice man. He’ll share some stories and some of his experiences of Route 66. I can’t wait!! His latest book and all his others, are available on his website. You can click the link below. And if you want to meet him in person, give me a jingle and I’ll get you signed up for what’s sure to be an amazing Route 66 adventure! https://jimhinckleysamerica.com/ Www.exclusivetravelpartners.com/route66tour
