If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way,
the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on
Route 66!
Bobby Troup
Take
a trip down the Mother Road, to a simpler,
slower time in American history. Route 66 was
the gateway to the golden Pacific, starting in
Chicago and ending at the beach in Santa Monica
nearby Los Angeles. The route was about 2400
miles and passed through Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and
California. Unfortunately, many of the towns
along Route 66 have become modern ghost towns as
the high speed Interstate passed them by.
Route 66 is a road destined to live on in our
memories.
