rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 20:28:18 GMT

Frontier Trails: Westward Migration

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 01:09:56 GMT

]]>This gallery samples the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails east to west. It has four sections: Joint Trails, Oregon Trail, California Trail and Hastings Cutoff/Mormon Trail.

The Oregon and California Trails began in or near Independence MO, but there were other departure points including St. Joseph MO and near Omaha NE.

The Santa Fe Trail (shown in a separate gallery) overlapped for a short distance into eastern KS.

The Pony Express used part of the trails in 1860-61 and landscape shots of contemporary Re-Rides are included. The Lincoln Highway later incorporated trail segments. (Both have separate galleries.)

The Mormon Trail and Hastings Cutoff are combined at the end. Mormon-specific photos include Nauvoo and Carthage IL, Martin's Cove WY and UT.

Most emigrants experienced the trails in daytime sun and heat. So this gallery shows only a few scenes in attractive sunrise or sunset light.

Related images are in the Vanishing America, Pony Express, Santa Fe Trail, Twin Streaks of Rust, Donner Pass, St. Joseph MO and Lincoln Highway galleries. Mormon images from UT are in the Lincoln Highway UTAH and Salt Lake City galleries.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Texas Roadside Attractions

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 19:17:32 GMT

]]>Everybody already knows what the Alamo looks like, so why see it again in the same way? I also offer a nearby attraction: "Motel 3." It's a big state, and there's lots of this stuff out there.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Glenrio TX/NM: Hard Luck Story

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 19:16:36 GMT

]]>Glenrio has more traffic lanes than people. Since it straddles the TX/NM line this gallery has images from both states. Some were taken from one state into the other.

After I-40 was built in the 1970s Glenrio was a ghost town, attracting vandals for nearly 50 years. Decay took care of others. Some structures shown here including the Broyles Mobil gas station from 1925 are now gone.

A marijuana dispensary has opened on the NM side, but posession remains a crime just a few feet away in TX.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Two Wheels = Too Much Fun

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 19:12:45 GMT

This gallery includes motorcyles, bicycles and everything in-between.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Colorado Style & Architecture

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 18:44:11 GMT

]]>Colorado became a state in 1876. Fortunes from mining etc. paid for exuberant buildings. Many are beautifully preserved and still being used.

"Architecture" images include classics, one-offs, and several where the scenery overpowers everything. Most are detail shots. "Style" images include street photography and everything else.

Denver images are in a separate city gallery.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Cruisin' 66-Style

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 19:58:58 GMT

Pony Express: Riding into History

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:03:24 GMT

]]>This gallery samples the Pony Express route, riders and horses, historic sites, and related scenes east to west. The ROADS page has history.

The National Pony Express Association (I'm a member) stages annual Re-Rides. Images are combined from 2017 (westbound), 2018 and 2021 (eastbound), along a close approximation of the 1860-61 route.

Original riders were men and boys and there was no uniform. They rode a much longer distance from a Home Station and changed horses frequently at Relay Stations.

Some animals then were barely-broken mustangs, but many of today's horses are family pets.

The route, following the Platte River, went from NE into a corner of CO near Julesburg, then back into NE before entering WY. The Lincoln Highway and frontier trails also used some of this corridor and selected photos are included.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:01:13 GMT

QUICK! HIT DELETE!

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:23:00 GMT

]]>You don't need a cell phone to take an awful image--Nikons do just fine. These abject failures are for entertainment purposes only and do not appear in other galleries. You can however buy them as gag gifts. They will be unsigned...don't even ask!

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

New York: Manhattan Salute

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 15:45:19 GMT

]]>The world does not need more photographs of New York City...and here they are!

Many are from Times Square, the Lincoln Highway's beginning point in 1913. Other areas are sampled.

This is largely street photography with some unique architectural shots. (Stock images of landmarks are widely available elsewhere and not offered on this site.)

Some photographs are not suitable for all viewers and situations. Several scenes have alternate croppings. Huge advertising signs and street lights can create garish skin colors on pedestrians.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Miami Beach: Deco + Decadence

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 20:50:25 GMT

]]>Miami Beach owes its 1920s development and promotion to Carl Fisher, the visionary behind the Lincoln Highway and Indianapolis 500 race.

Much later, preservationists saved threatened 1930s and 40s buildings. The area is now an architectural treasure.

The gallery mixes historic art deco and streamline moderne hotels with eclectic street scenes. Photographs are real, from the flow of life, not staged tourism shots. And palms abound: they go with everything!

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Sacramento: California's Capital

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 14:15:50 GMT

]]>Sacramento was the western end of the Pony Express, beginning of eastward construction for the Transcontinental Railroad, and joining point for alternate routings of the Lincoln Highway. It's also been California's capital city since 1854.

Photographs mix transportation-related scenes with architecture and street photography.

These images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

Route 66: Going Going GONE

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Wed, 20 May 2026 15:33:56 GMT

]]>This gallery samples vandalism, graffiti and other destruction along the road. Most of the damage is to isolated structures in the western half. Images in other galleries were taken years earlier.

Many of these are "record shots" taken for my own use and not for display. They do not appear in other galleries and are not for sale.

The remaining images are only offered here. The copyright watermark does not appear.

TV: Toe Vision

rt66pix@hotmail.com (www.rt66pix.com) — Sun, 17 May 2026 16:43:39 GMT

]]>"Immaturity is wasted on the young."

Budget motels, a TV remote and insomnia produced these inane images. Feet provide a commentary, comic foil or reality check. What's inaner (a real word) is on-screen.

This gallery is best enjoyed in sequence using the Slideshow button. Beer helps too. Because of copyright these images are not for sale.
