Route 66 GC Adventure - Picking Up the Van

For months, I have been planning a solo trip to do all of the Historic Route 66 Adventure Lab Series from the California border to Chicago. I have completed all of the California Adventures. Today, I picked up the van. I start my 19-day Adventure tomorrow, including some side events and GeoWoodstock XX.
This is especially exciting for me because I conceived and curated the project with the help of GearGuru at GCHQ, eight State Coordinators, and eighty-four "reliable and task-oriented" geocachers who created 94 Adventures from Chicago to Santa Monica.
If this sounds like fun to you, come join me.

Everyone at GeoWoodstock HQ loves the van! We are excited to see it around town.

Sounds exciting!

I am very excited. People from around the world are traveling Route 66 every day, many trying to follow the original route looking for interesting places.
I get to let geocachers guide me to the places and tell me about them. That's exciting for sure.

Wow! What an adventure! Love the van… it’s far out man!

ROADTRIP! We're ready to do it all over again!

Fun! Have a great trip!

Sounds like an epic road-trip! Can't wait to see how this turns out!

The van looks good. Sounds like an interesting trip. Looking forward to seeing it.

I am looking forward to sharing it by creating a video each day. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Very colourful. We'll be taking notes as we'll be doing that in reverse in October.

[@gsmX2]

Every van is painted different. I missed the opportunity to take shots of about twenty vans they had in the facility.
I look forward to seeing your trip. It's amazing how many people from around the world travel the length of Route 66.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

19 days is fast. Is that one way or a return trip to return the car?

[@gsmX2]

It's one way. I am dropping the van in Chicago on June 8.
I think it's a good pace. Many people who travel Route 66 are doing it in two to three weeks. The advantage I have is that I have done all of California.
The disadvantage I have it that I have more than almost 900 stops on my route, including over 200 geocaches. Some of those will have to go if I cannot keep up my daily pace.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

How long with you be in AZ? Just overnight?
