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!

Oklahoma Route 66 - Afton
AFTON, OKLAHOMA. Ancient tourist courts still
standing on Route 66 in Afton, and because the old sign is still
readable, we know that at one time it was called the Avon Motel. Not
much other information is available on this former roadside business.
Probably built in the 1930's, it's amazing to this citizen of
overcrowded Northern New Jersey that such a big piece of land can be
left undisturbed after all these years. Maybe it's time for a move to
Oklahoma.
