May 14, 2015 Today marks our 3rd full week on the road; we are getting so close to Chicago but still a couple of days to go. This was a pretty short travel day in comparison with some others but we would go through Atlanta, Illinois – a very small town in size, but large… Continue reading Route 66 Day 21 – Edwardsville, IL to Lincoln, IL

May 10, 2015 We’ve enjoyed the coast, the desert, then mountains, and today we dropped down into the plains.

I know… Continue reading Route 66 Day 17 – Santa Fe to Amarillo
