In June of 2009, I attended the AAW Symposium in Albuquerque New Mexico. I drove to the symposium following the route of old route 66 through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico.
After the symposium, I drove north to Colorado and visited the Great Sand Dunes National Park and then drove through Kansas and Nebraska on US50, US56, and US77 to Minneapolis.
