Reynolds made his first trip from Oklahoma to California with
his parents on Route 66 in the summer of 1947, when he was
just a few months old. This trip became an annual event for
Branson for the next 20 years. .

Today’s
renewed fascination with this historic route is the foundation
for a wonderful journey of photography and nostalgia along
a portion of America’s most famous and most loved
highway. This trip covers some of the most famous historic
sites and best preserved portions of the old highway, and
is designed to be taken either as one continuous 14 day
trip from Amarillo to Oatman, the last town in Arizona before
the California border, or as two separate 7 day trips, one
from Amarillo to Albuquerque, and the other from Albuauerque
to Oatman (the trip will be offered twice each year).
Along
the way we will immerse ourselves in the memories and history
of the old road. We'll drive the remaining segments
of the original highway, visit with old timers and historians,
eat in vintage Route 66 establishments such as the Big Texan,
La Posada, Grand Canyon Diner, and Joe and Aggie's Cafe,
and visit trading posts and antique shots which are full
of Route 66 memorabilia. We’ll spend our nights
in Amarillo, Tucumcari, Santa Rosa, Santa Fe, Albuquerque,
Gallup, Holbrook, Flagstaff, and Seligman .We'll enjoy
the evenings photographing neons after full days of shooting
historic sites and Americana in and between the towns.

However
we relate to this famous highway, variously known as the Pontiac
Trail, Osage Indian Trail, Grand Canyon Route, National Old
Trails Highway, the Mother Road, the Glory Road, or the Main
Street of America, Route 66 still evokes a sense of romance
and adventure. On this trip we’ll immerse ourselves
in the memories, nostalgia, and wonderful photographic opportunities
along the old road, and we’ll slow down and escape the
fast-paced-rat-race of Interstate 40 and return for a few
days to the more peaceful pace of an earlier time.
