Rand-McNally Motor Carrier Road Atlas, GET ONE!

The same could be said for manual fuel pumps. I've long said, electronics are great,,,when they work. Most people today are sheep. They have to go along with what everybody else is doing, and consider the atlas our "ace in the hole". It's important to pre-look at the route, and write down the way on a sticky note. Traffic is too unpredictable today to take your eyes off the road, even for a second..

 

You caught me! I didn't think anyone would get that reference.Good Job!!

 

I appreciate your concern. I was stuck in traffic at the time

 

I appreciate you being on the same roads as my family.

 

Lives on my passenger seat.

 

Same here and back then the CB was really helpful tool and still is today. But around 2011 ish got one of those GPS's and found it another useful tool

 

I come home a couple years ago and my Rand Mcnally is gone from my enclosed back porch. Ask the boss (wife) where is my atlas? She said I threw it out last year. I said why? She said you haven't touched since 2013. Oh I said. Drive the same roads over and over again. Really didn't need it I guess, was like an old friend.

 

I always buy last years edition. They're cheaper then this year's edition.

But every few years though.

I always get the laminated. They hold up better.

1962 still works well today? With it missing probably 90% of the needed info that's popped up in the last 60 years. lol

 

Better than that. There are almost no Interstate Highways, mostly dotted lines. Many highways have been renamed/rerouted.
US Rt 666 out in the 4 Corners area is still there, so I am confidant I am on the right path...
It has everything I need while on a trip in my 1956 Studebaker Champion...

 

Cortez Co. Old truck stop beside the scale. Ben there done that. Good times.
