From Big River to the ocean

Here’s one of the best slide shows I’ve seen on YouTube in a long time. Mixing a few older photos, it’s a travelogue of Route 66 from about St. Louis to the Pacific.

Music is “Route 66,” by Nat King Cole.

  1. I agree with you completely, Ron. After watching this clip, and you know it’s just a small piece of Route 66, is it any wonder why so many people are so intrigued with the road? As my husband says, “it gets your blood to boiling with excitement” just thinking about the people, places and events that have made the road so memorable. It’s a slice of Americana. Thanks for the memory!
