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 - Joliet
JOLIET, ILLINOIS. After a couple of visits to Interstate 55, old Route
66 settles in and continues for a stretch as Joliet road, into the town
of Joliet itself. That's Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues atop the ice cream
place, not far from the Joliet prison where Jake was released just in
time for his movie debut.
