The spring edition of the Route 66 Federation News, published by the National Historic Route 66 Federation, arrived in the mail today. Here are some of the articles inside:
- The story of author Jim Ross' house on old Route 66, which bases its design on a 1930 Phillips 66 cottage gas station (photo of the home above is from Ross' Web site). Other improvements were made on the property, too, including a guest cabin.
- David "Windy City Warrior" Clark's closer look at the Route 66 town of McCook, Ill.
- Route 66 aficionado Mark Potter's trip down the Mother Road in California and Arizona.
- A story about the historic but now-closed Midway Cafe in Cuba, Mo.
- Carl Johnson dissects his arduous task of finding obscure Route 66 alignments in Springfield, Ill.
- An Australian couple writes their first in a series about their trip down Route 66.
