Jim Conkle of the California Route 66 Preservation Foundation announced Monday that he will be embarking on a Route 66 Caravan to mark attractions on the road in summer 2008, similar to the one he led in 2003.
Hampton Inn was the sponsor nearly five years ago. It will participate, but won’t be a major sponsor. The Route 66 Pulse newspaper will be a major partner.
Conkle will find some new places to place “Roadside Attraction” signs. The signs, he said, will be similar in appearance to the one placed in 2003.
The caravan also will stop in Litchfield, Ill., during the Route 66 Festival in June.
The event is still in the planning stages; more details will be given out later.
Great news! I really enjoyed the 2003 Caravan and am still waiting for it to be published in book form or a DVD would be great. Looking forward to the next caravan, Jim.
Glad to hear you are going to head another rt 66 caravan for 2008 i thinkit would be wonderful to join you folks on the road bot i think i will have to skip.Maybe circumstances will change by the time you guys decide to take off in 2008
is there a way to make that trip paying a share and leaving the driving to someone else
I bet if you were to offer atour leaving the driving to a professional tour guide and driver it would go overreal good. jhh505@ aol.com
