Route 66: From Chicago to Los Angeles
June 23, 2025America’s first major highway, Route 66, turns 100 in 2026, and to celebrate, explore and see what all the fuss is about, Ruth and I hopped a plane to Chicago, rented a car, and drove the entire 2,448 mile way, through three time zones, eight states and a whole lot of cool stops over 21 days.
It was the trip of a lifetime, full of great photo ops, fantastic people we met along the way, my kind of food (pies, cakes, malts, shakes, burgers, grilled cheese, pizza) ever changing landscapes and an eye-opening experience all around.
I invite you to see Route 66 through my lens, in the first of a six-part series, beginning with the ride out of Chicago and continuing through rural Illinois. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
