My journey started, of course, in Chicago downtown. Close to the Route 66 starting sign there is a spectacular gathering spot: the Millenium Park.
I’ll see a lot of classic cars along the road, but the first scenic place dedicated to cars was in Joliet
Arriving in Dwight, there is an old gaz station where I met very kind people there.
Still in Illinois, the city of Pontiac offer many frescoes and a house bus.
Atlanta (IL) is a typical and charming village
A mill house in Lincoln (IL)
A weird pickup truck in Maryland Heights, Missouri
A lion in the famous Blueberry Hill. Chuck Berry played over 200 concerts at this place.
Old rusty cars in Marshfield, Missouri
The blue whale of Catoosa, Oklahoma
Buck Atom’s Cosmic Curios in Tulsa (OK)
The round barn in Arcadia
McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom in Weatherford
Second Amendment Cowboy and Cadillacs in Amarillo, Texas
A portion of Route 66 in Los Lunas, New Mexico
Painted desert Indian center in Holbrook, Arizona
Hackberry General Store (AZ)
Pirate Cove Resort & Marina, Needles, California
Shoes hung on a pipe at Venice Beach Boardwalk, Santa Monica (CA)
Parkers’ Lighthouse, Shoreline Village (CA)
Crossing the United States from east to west on the mythical Route 66 is an interesting experience. I recommend you take at least two weeks and ideally three to fully appreciate this trip
