End of Route 66 Overview

One of the highlights of the trip has been enjoying the Route 66 cd and other nostalgic cds produced by our friend, George Lannon, as we cruised down the highways as George would say "playing it loud and proud."

The sadest parts of the trip was seeing fields of crops being plowed under by farmers as crops were lost due to the draught.  I was also dismayed at the numerous stockyards used as cow feeding lots where cows grow up pinned in lots. ☹️

We saw brave fire fighters battling a "wildfire" on a hillside on Ronald Reagan Freeway, and realized how often this occurs in this part of the country.

We witnessed the aftermath of the flooding on I-5 near Grapevine, CA, with mounds of mud pilled up on the sides of the highway and felt the pain of those who indured the recent devastation.

We enjoyed finding many of the Route 66 cafes, landmarks and historic sites across the country and each new adventure was more rewarding by the people we met along the way and the sites we saw on Route 66.  This trip has exceeded any expectations and even though we've come to the end of Route 66, we look forward to more adventures in the next few weeks as we return across the country.
