🇺🇸 U.S ROUTE 66 🇺🇸 MOTHER ROAD 🇺🇸
ROUTE 66 was one of the original highways in the USA. US 66 was established on November 11, 1926 with road signs erected the following year, originally run from Chicago, IL through MO,KS,OK,TX,NM and AZ before terminating in Santa Monica in LA Country,CA, covering a total of 2,448 miles 🛣👌🏼
U.S 66 carried hundreds of thousands of Depression-era migrants from the Midwest who went to Cali hoping for job and better life. The flat all-season route of U.S 66 led to an increase in long distance trucking 🚛🚚
Although it is no longer possible to drive US 66 uninterrupted all the way from Chicago to LA, much of the origibal route and alternate alignments are still drivable with careful planning.
You will find several ghost towns on the way, some on them are abandoned ghost towns, others have very few inhabitants and others have transformed themselves into tourist attracrions
