Get Your Kicks . . . On Route 66
On this stretch of the famous “Mother Road”—the primary US highway connecting the Midwest and West Coast from the 1920s through the 80s—the road is a pair of roadways—the now unused old road (where I stood to take the picture), which was washed out in several places west of Summit Valley by the floods of 1938, and the “new” road, on the left, built as the original road's replacement. As you can see on the hillside near the center of the image, an enterprising local rancher has cleared away the brush in the form of a “66” to commemorate the famous highway, across which generations of Americans migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
Camera: Falcon Miniature (circa 1938, with Minivar 50mm lens)
Film: Rera Pan 100 127 film, developed in Arista Liquid Developer for 7:45 minutes @ 67 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
