And so is everybody else. Local boogie woogie master Ricky Nye makes at least one trip to France each year and, for the last three years, these fellows have been returning the favor. Using the name Ricky Nye and the Paris Blues Band, they do a few shows in and around Cincinnati and I’ve managed to catch one of them on each of the visits. The first two years, it was at Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, where they performed Friday night. This year I missed the Rabbit Hash show but saw the group on Saturday at the Big Song Music House. This is the remarkable venue that Marc & Lisa Biales have created near Oxford, Ohio, and which I attended for the first time just about a month ago.

Got home last night and just got the last day's journal posted. Six days getting to the east end of US-44, two day "layover" at Allentown, and six days driving west on 44 & 22. That was fun. http://www.dennygibson.com/hardway66/ Alrighty. Got home last night and just got the last day’s journal posted.

The $40 base rate is actually a seasonal special compared to the normal $48. I know what you mean about Motel 6. It's one of my go-to chains and I've paid over $80 for Motel 6 in California. It seemed outrageous but other motels were worse. $43.68 with tax. The $40 base rate is actually a seasonal special compared to the normal $48. I know what you mean about Motel 6.

I believe it was still predominately 2-lane. I've since been on much in Pennsylvania along with all in Ohio and know that 2-lane US-22 is an endangered species. I'm still expecting it to be interesting, though. In the mid-1970s, a friend and I did almost all of it coming home from New York though we weren’t religious about it.

If that motel was $40.00 a night--ya better spend a few nights there . . . it can't last at that price. Out here Motel 6 costs more---for less!! Awaiting Day Two!!

This was a little bit before interstates - try 1949!!! I suspect it has changed a bit since then - like U S 40, which we also traveled, I recognized nothing when I drove over it several years back. Safe Travels - look fwd to your road trip and the Old 61/Old 51 loop offer is still open when you get down this way again. Got some interesting things to show you along the route - but I'll keep those to myself.
