I thought it would be fun to do a collection of Route 66 photographs. I loved driving on Route 66. It was full of history and fortitude. As I stated in an earlier post, I felt bad, at first, that there were so many deserted buildings and businesses around Route 66. Then I realized that there were still quite a few open businesses and that there seems to be restored interest in the historic route. I hope that the route can recover and that businesses can once again thrive. It is a piece of history that America cannot afford to lose.

“Well, I’m a standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me” by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey
Unfortunately, I drove right by the Cadillac Ranch without stopping. I came up on my so fast, I drove right by it. There were a few other sights I wanted to see but I drove right by. Sorry about that. Hope you do like the few photographs I actually did get. I hope to be taking the rest of Route 66 on another trip.
An Epic Journey
