Along Route 66
Route 66 is not what it once was, sad to say; but it still has its moments! There is ample reason to digress from the well paved and maintained highways, to touch a bit of the old Mother Road. The route begins in Chicago and ends in California, and through the years, beginning with my parents and continuing to the present, I have traversed it in its entirety, as well as bits and pieces that happened to correspond to whatever destination lay ahead.
Recently, I found a new, to me, marker on the 2,448 mile road – a half way point! It is quite obviously designed for the likes of people like me, to pull over and snap a picture, and I was happy to oblige – yes, there are still kicks to be found on Route 66.
