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!

New Mexico Route 66 - Albuquerque
"We ought to make
Albuquerque easy by tonight." Porky Pig to Sylvester the Cat, "Jumpin
Jupiter" cartoon. And so said countless fathers to their wives and
children on old Route 66 in the 1950's.
