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 - Yukon
YUKON, OKLAHOMA. Farm stuff on 66. This mill
and grain elevator was built in 1933, when one of the original partners
in the more famous Yukon Mill (famous as a 66 attraction because of a
great neon sign, not agricultural fame) left to start his own business. He didn't go far, as this mill is right across the
street from the Yukon Mill. In 1972, it was sold and now operates as the
MFC Farmers Co-Op.
