Coffee With Jim, June 2, 2024

Destination Tulsa! This episode was a great road trip inspiring visit with Wade Bray, developer of the AAA Route 66 Road Fest scheduled for June 22 and 23 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Imagine being able to experience the history, the magic, the food, the culture, the colorful characters, and the magic of the Route 66 experience in one air conditioned location!

In our free range conversation we also discussed the dynamic transformation of the Route 66 corridor in Tulsa, plans for the upcoming Route 66 centennial, Wade's first trip west on this storied highway, the international nature of the Route 66 community, and what might be in store for this American icons second century. 

Today's program is sponsored in part by RouteTrip USA, the bespoke road trip holiday specialists, and the iconic Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri. It is also sponsored by the Roadrunner Lodge Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico, Uranus Fudge Company & General Store, Route 66 Navigation, Gilligan's Route 66 Tours, and Cactus Inn Motel in McLean, Texas.
