 Would you like to join us on our road trip? Well, now you can, at least vicariously, by following us on our new blog, usroute89.com.
Before the trip begins we will be writing about progress toward our sponsorship goal. We will also let you in on our preparations for a month on the road. For example, if you've never seen our teardrop trailer in person, I posted a guided tour of the Pod. And Barb is going to be writing about a fine art book she is making for our corporate sponsor, the Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer.
One of the exciting features of the blog is a Google map on which we will be placing markers as we go along. It will be a quick reference for where we are and what we have found to tell you about on our journey.
Of course, we will be posting photographs and short articles as often as we can. The plan is to do a daily log. I hope that is not too ambitious and that we can stay connected online the whole length of the road.
The blog will also be another way for you to connect with us. We welcome your comments on our posts. You can also use the Contact Us form to email suggestions for places to visit when you see we are nearby.
...and Facebook, too
We have a fan page on Facebook. Become a fan of the US Route 89 Appreciation Society and you'll see our updates in your home page. Just another way to stay in touch.

 You love driving the two-lane highways that keep you close to the edge of the road so you can see the land at a leisurely pace. You think nothing of stopping along the way to admire the view and smell the fresh air. You seek out unique places to eat where the special of the day depends on what's in season at the nearby farm. You already appreciate the opportunities offered by a journey on US Route 89.
You are not alone in your passion for a trip on a "slow road." There are many others like you. Together we can spread the word of the joys of leisurely travel.
