It is hard for me to put into words my feelings about Route 66, it is a very magical place like going through a time capsule. It runs through the heart of my town, Arcadia Oklahoma. Where time has stood still and it is like driving through a Museum.
Route 66 was established in 1926 and ran from Chicago to Los Angles, during a different time and era. Traveling was much more an adventure that it is today and one was much more dependant upon the good will of strangers along the route. In the early days, much of the route was just plan dirt road. It wasn't until the mid 30's the it became paved. In 1985 Route 66 was retired having been replaced by Interstate 40 for the most part, an interstate system established during the Eisenhower administration.
