Route 66
You would really need 2 weeks to see most of it.... there are thousands of historic sites, hotels, restaurants, museums, scenic overlooks, and just places to stop and take a look....Buy a couple books that have lots of pictures of the mother Road, they will feature all the things that are still there and that you can see. Any things have been restored, many things are gone, and many things are deteriorating fast. Many sites have been restored, many things are gone, and many things are deteriorating fast.
It has always been a bucket list item for me to travel route 66 and I am thrilled that I got to go. As soon as we left 66 to head north in California I felt a little sad, I felt like I was part of 66 while I was on it and I couldn’t get enough of it... it’s hard to explain but maybe that’s part of the experience. I couldn’t imagine traveling that road back in the day, cars without air-conditioning and other comforts that we take for granted today. I think about all the truck drivers that traveled the route, and also the people who traveled to make a better life for themselves. I got really wrapped up in the whole experience and I can’t wait to do it again.
