A clearinghouse of news and events about historic Route 66, the Mother Road.
Route 66 blog roundup 10/3
Okiedokie wonders whether the two segments of Route 66 in Oklahoma that were placed on the National Register of Historic Places are driveable. They are. The 1926 Pryor Creek Bridge is just east of Chelsea on East First Street, a south turnoff from the current Oklahoma 66. A map to Tank Farm Loop, near Kellyville, can be seen here.
A fellow from Essex, England, created an Ol’ Boy Riding Route 66 blog and took a motorcycle down Route 66 in August. But it should be called Ol’ Boy Ridin’ Route 66.
SteveandAmySly.com recently toured Route 66 in Illinois and will be devoting a 20-part (!) series to it. On the Tannerworld.com forums, they explain what inspired them to do the Mother Road (hint: one of them was a recent hit summer movie).
Ron, thanks for the shoutout on our Illinois Route 66 experience! 🙂
