RV and camping headlines

Legends of America. Travel, history, Old West, Route 66, ghost towns,
treasure tales, and more. Webmaster Kathy Weiser has gathered historic photos, old
postcards, plus her own photos from her travels, into a fun and informative site.
Check out her mile-by-mile description along Route 66. The information could easily
fill several books, but it's all here for free.
