Joe and I have talked about driving Route 66 for the last year or so...we have seen the beginning of Route 66 in Chicago and last September on our way to Mexico we stayed in LA overnight and saw the end of Route 66 on the Santa Monica pier...
We have been collecting books and maps for the last few weeks...
Living in Minnesota means that we have to drive quite a few hours to pick up Route 66...we are not going to be starting at the beginning in Chicago...we have decided to head south to Springfield Missouri...spend the night in Springfield and then start our Route 66 adventure...we are planning on getting as far as Arizona...no fixed plans...stop when we see something of interest...eat in mom and pop diners...and see something of the back roads of America...
I am hoping to keep a photo account of our trip...if Joe stops long enough in any one place so I can take photos...once he is on the road he likes to keep going...
We are leaving tomorrow morning Friday 21st...wish us luck...we may need it...
