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. It was 101 degrees on a
Saturday afternoon in June as I crossed the Pony Bridge, and there were families
swimming in the Canadian River on the western bank. Childhood memories continue to be made on Route 66, even in 2012.
