Did you know that the US Route 66 highway is the most famous and talked about road in the United States? Some of the nicknames it has inheritated along the way are Route 66, The Main Street of America, The Mother Road and Will Rogers Highway.

It all began in 1926 in Chicago, Illinois and ended up 2,448 miles away in Los Angeles, California. It wasn't until 1938 that the road was completely paved. It was then deactivated in 1985 and replaced by the new Interstate Highway System. The old signs came down and portions of the road were designated a National Scenic Byway now known as "Historic Route 66".

You can stop by for lunch at the nostalgic 66 Diner in Albuquerque, tour the Route 66 Auto Museum in Santa Rosa, or stay at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook. There are many motels, gas stations, diners and the famous roadside attractions along the highway.

"...and they come into 66 from the tributary side roads, from the wagon tracks and the rutted country roads, 66 is the mother road, the road of flight." -- John Steinbeck in "The Grapes of Wrath".
