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 - Springfield
SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS. Bill Shea, 90, is a World War II veteran who saw action on D-Day, was a small business proprietor on Route 66 for over 35 years running his Texaco and Marathon gas stations, and has been a Route 66 ambassador greeting visitors from all over the world at Shea's Gas Station Museum since 1982. And he looks the part, bless him.
