Ace Jackalope of The Lope blog continues to post some fine photographs from his trip across the Mojave Desert. The latest entry includes a lot of nice images of neon signs and vintage motels, including the El Rancho, in Barstow, Calif.
The Lope, thanks to his quick trigger finger on the camera, also effectively busts a few rude teenagers.
Illinois seeks new Hall of Famers January 26, 2006

Brief item in the Bloomington Pantagraph: The Illinois Route 66 Association seeks nominees for its Hall of Fame. Nominees can be businesses or people with a connection to the road.
Nomination letters should be no more than four pages and include the history. Photos and memorabilia are welcome, but not required. Deadline to submit is Feb. 25.
Winners will be inducted during the group’s annual Motor Tour in June.
If you’re not sure who’s in the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame and who’s not, you can check the list here.
I have a suggestion for a nominee hare (hint hint).
Mail nominations to Route 66 Association of Illinois, Attn: Hall of Fame Committee, 110 W. Howard St., Pontiac, IL 61764.
