    Hey, anyone out there know about driving west from St. Louis on Rte. 56 into Kansas, on the Santa Fe Trail accross Oklahoma into New Mexico? We're planning a trip west and are thinking this route might be fun. It is noted as a "Scenic highway" on the maps and we have AAA and the great book, "Road Trip USA" by Jamie Jensen. He describes a trip he calls "The Loneliest Road" along the Santa Fe Trail. We want to go through Taos and we'd like to go out of Dodge City KS and Boise City OK through Clayton NM into Taos. Any suggestions?

    we were at dodge city a couple years ago...hot and dry..u have got to like cattle and railroads...we drove sw into the panhandle...better have a full tank...not much out there...just be careful of huge thunderstorms and hail...we ran into hail in arizona...we darted under an overpass to prevent hail damage on the prius...

    Great! This is the kind of info we need. We're planning the trip in September - is that the time of year you drove it?
