Great Route 66 Links to Mother Road Friends |
One of the most exciting things to happen on Route 66 in a long time! Through the support of Hampton® Hotels Save A Landmark program I accompanied Jim Conkle of the California Route 66 Preservation Foundation on a 66 day journey of Route 66 from Santa Monica to Chicago that started on April 29th, 2003. I chronicled our adventures (some would say misadventures) down the Mother Road and posted a day by day account of our journey on the Route 66 Caravan web site. Catch the whole adventure here! Be prepared, there are 100 pages to peruse as this web site has become an online book. |
