Jim Conkle of the California Route 66 Preservation Foundation and a film crew from G2G Productions showed up at the Route 66 Mother Road Museum in Barstow, Calif., to film pilots for what is hoped to be a television series focusing on Route 66, reports the Desert Dispatch.
“We’re celebrating the people of the road and the locations and sites of the road,” said Conkle, who plans to dub the potential series with a title such as “The Route 66 Chronicles.”
He said that the show will reflect the mission of the preservation foundation, which includes preservation, restoration, education, promotion and enjoyment of “all things Route 66-related.”
“Those are the things we want to do,” he said. “We want to preserve not just the buildings but the culture.”
