A Texas Panhandle ghost town with a Route 66 connection. A murder mystery. Passionate people with an eye on building a sense of community. Writing a new chapter in Route 66 history. That is just a hint of what to expect from today's inspirational and fascinating conversation with Blair and Blanca Schaffer on Coffee With Jim, the weekly podcast from Jim Hinckley's America.

Jericho is more than just an old ghost town. It is a tangible link to Texas and Route 66 history. It is a high plains time capsule with a storied history that is being uncovered, and shared, one layer at a time by Blair and Blanca Schaffer. Together this dynamic husband-and-wife duo are blending entrepreneurship and leadership that builds a network of cooperative partnerships with a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program that is Schaffer Farms.

Today's program is sponsored in part by Two Lane America. "We make it stress-free with our multiple guided tour options. Whether you want to hit the road in your own car as part of our car caravans or sit back and let us do the driving on one of our motorcoach tours, we have you covered." 

It is also sponsored by Gilligan's Route 66 Tours. "Outstanding 18-day tour from Minneapolis to New Orleans via some ‘roads less travelled’ Like our Route 66 tour, our tour down the Mississippi is a driving tour for the adventuresome, but unlike Route 66 – this tour has more than one common theme."
