Route 66

Once Upon a time in the West … there was a road from the Midwest to the West. To be more precise, from Chicago to Los Angeles. The road was called Route 66. The road was replaced by a modern interstate highway system and the old Route 66 which connected all the little towns between Chicago and Los Angeles lost its funding. Route 66 went into decay and many of the little towns too.

 

Some old parts of Route 66 are still there and in the meantime Route 66 transcends into a myth and glorified in a Pixar movie - Cars 1 & 2.

 

Present image was done somewhere along a preserved portion of it. The little town of Amboy is lost in the Mojave Desert.
