Route 66

One of the other themes of this trip has been Route 66, the Mother Road.  I have been following it rather loosely since Route 66 as such doesn't exist any more.  It has been superseded by interstates, although there are route 66s in severe states.  I've tried to keep an eye out for the historic Route 66 as much as possible but have mostly just followed its general route from city to city.  Chicago, St Louis, on through Kansas, Oklahoma City.  After Scottsdale, I made a point of driving to Flagstaff and Gallup.  And as the song says, Don't forget Winona.  Someday maybe I'll pick it up again in Flagstaff and continue the rest of the route to California.
