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. The stretch of old 66
through Divernon, Farmersville, Waggoner and Raymond is mostly a
straight run, with Interstate 55 and its much heavier traffic on your
left. I prefer to concentrate on the right hand scenery, with its long
line of telephone poles and Illinois Central railroad tracks, and
pretend it's 1940.
