Route 66
The Mother Road, The Main Street of America or just good old Route 66; no matter what you call it, there are tons of sights to see and things to do along its 2,450 mile route. The original route, from Chicago to Los Angeles was established in 1926, went through 8 states and was a major path for westward migration post-depression.
Decommissioned in 1985, Route 66 has seen a revival of sorts by people with a nostalgic kick, a sense of adventure, and those who want to keep the dreams of yesteryear alive. Along the route are such gems as the U-DROP-INN cafe in Shamrock, Texas, the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Petrified Forest National Park, Joe and Aggies and The Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona or San Bernardino, California and tons of other places are just waiting for you along the historic Route 66.
