Route 66 was a mostly two lane highway that extended from Chicago to Los Angeles, through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before gradually giving up to the modern interstate. Most of the old pavement is still there, and can be followed with the right maps and directions. I drove the entire length of old 66 in 2012, and invite you to follow along!

Illinois Route 66 - Pontiac
PONTIAC, ILLINOIS. This is the famous
"rotated" Route 66 restaurant. Opened in 1926 to face the original 66
alignment, the Old Log Cabin was raised up on jacks and twisted around
to face the new four lane 66 that was built to bypass the town.
