La U.S. 66, también conocida como U.S. Route 66, Route 66 (Ruta 66), The Main Street of America (La calle principal de América), The Mother Road (La carretera madre) y la Will Rogers Highway (Carretera de Will Rogers), formó parte de la Red de Carreteras Federales de Estados Unidos. Una de las rutas federales originales, la U.S. 66 se estableció el 11 de noviembre de 1926, aunque no se señalizó hasta el año siguiente (...). La Ruta 66 fue objeto de muchas mejoras y cambios de trazado, muchos de ellos afectaron bastante a la longitud de la carretera, uno de ellos fue el traslado del final de Los Ángeles a Santa Mónica. Contrariamente a la creencia generalizada, la Ruta 66 nunca llegó al océano; acababa en lo que era el inicio de la U.S. 101, lo que es hoy la intersección de Olympic Boulevard con Lincoln Boulevard. Nunca estuvo en la intersección de Ocean Boulevard con Santa Monica Boulevard, a pesar de que haya una placa dedicatoria de la Ruta 66 como la Will Rogers Highway (Carretera de Will Rogers) allí.
La Ruta 66 fue el principal itinerario de los emigrantes que iban al oeste, especialmente durante las tormentas de polvo de los años 30, y sostuvo la economía de las zonas que la carretera atravesaba. La gente que prosperó durante la creciente popularidad de la carretera fue la misma que años más tarde luchó por mantenerla viva cuando empezó a construirse la nueva Red de Autopistas Interestatales de Estados Unidos.
La U.S. 66 (Ruta 66) fue descatalogada (es decir, oficialmente retirada de la Red de Carreteras de Estados Unidos) el 27 de junio de 1985 después de decidirse que la carretera ya no era relevante y haber sido reemplazada por la Red de Autopistas Interestatales de Estados Unidos. Partes de la carretera que discurre a través de Illinois, Nuevo México y Arizona han sido señalizadas con letreros de "Historic Route 66" (Ruta Histórica 66) y ha vuelto a aparecer en los mapas de carreteras de esta forma.
--------------------
U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Road") was a highway within the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926 -- with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km). It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup, originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946, and later performed by such artists as Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Manhattan Transfer and Depeche Mode) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.
Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint farther west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.
Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.
U.S. 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name "Historic Route 66". It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been redesignated "State Route 66", and others bear "Historic Route 66" signs and relevant historic information.

www.sapadventures.com/ The Inca Trail is a magnificent, well preserved Inca Trail route which connects Machu Picchu with what once were other regions of the Inca Empire, and today it is one of the world’s most popular treks. This four-day walk goes from the highlands of 4,200mts and down through the cloud forests to finally arrive at Machu Picchu - 2,380mts.
DAY 01. - Between 06:00 and 06:30 we pick you up at your hotel in our private bus. Ensure you have your original passport and ISIC student card (if applicable – for a discount on entree fee to Machu Picchu).
The journey by bus to km 82 (the starting point for the Inca Trail) takes approximately 3 hours. Once we get there and are all ready to go, this first day will have us walking mostly through the valley. It starts at 2380m with a small climb to a plateau overlooking the Incan site of Llactapata and rewards you with superb views of Mount Veronica. Walking times are always approximate depending on weather conditions, group ability and other factors, but generally you will walk about 2-3 hours before lunch. Then after lunch we walk on just past the village of Wayllabamba to reach our first campsite at 3000m.
Approx 14km, 6 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 02. - Day 2 is the most difficult day as you Inca Trail walk from about 3000m to 4200m — the highest pass of the trek (known as Dead Woman’s Pass – but don’t be discouraged!). You can walk at your own pace and stop to get your breath whenever you like. You’ll find your energy returns once you continue down to the valley of Pacaymayo, where we camp at 3600m.
You can hire a porter from the village of Wayllabamba to carry your pack to the top of this pass for approximately 70 soles. If you wish to do so you must organize and pay this money directly to the person who carries your items, and please check your belongings upon receiving them at the end of this service as these people are not Sap Adventures staff.
This is the coldest night at Inca Trail; between +2/+4 degrees Celsius (in December) and -3/-5 degrees Celsius (in June). Approx 12km, 7 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 03.- Day 3 is exceptionally beautiful because of the ruins you will witness and the incredible stone Inca Trail you walk one, and also because there is a lot more downhill than uphill! However, there are about 2000 stairs descending from the ruins of Phuyupatamarca to those of Wiñaywayna, so take care with your knees. If you have had knee or ankle injuries an extra porter is recommended so that you are not carrying extra weight and overstressing your joints. There is a guided tour of all the ruins on the way. Camping is usually at Wiñaywayna 2700 mtrs.
Take extra care of your personal belongings at this campsite as all the tours campsites are nearby. As usual, always keep your daypack containing your valuables with you. The only hot shower on the Inca Trail is on this third night at Wiñaywayna. There is a hostel near the campsite with an 8min hot shower for 5 soles, and a bar and restaurant where you can purchase bottled water.
Approx 16km, 6 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.
DAY 04.- We get up extremely early to arrive at the magical Intipunku "The Gate of the Sun" as the first rays begin illuminating the lost city of Machu Picchu down bellow. A further 20 min walk down from here takes us to the famous view from the terraces at the end of the trail. It is a good time to take pictures before the 10:30 crowds arrive. Your tour of Machu Picchu should last about 2 hours and finish between 10:30 and 11:00am. Then you have free time to climb Huayna Picchu if you wish (This is the famous peak in the background of most images of Machu Picchu. The trek is about 90 minutes). A maximum of 400 hikers can climb this mountain per day so if you are determined then start immediately after your tour! Or, of course, you may simply just collapse under a tree and quietly reflect in amazement at the mystery, the architectural achievement and beauty of Machu Picchu.
From Machu Picchu, it is a pleasant walk through sub-tropical jungle down to Aguas Calientes (about 45 mins), but if you are weary you may also take a bus – the $7 bus ticket is included and your guide will give you the ticket.
Once in Aguas Calientes you can have a hot shower, and then store your backpack while you go to have lunch, visit the hot springs or shop around the village.
If you are not extending your stay for one night in Aguas Calientes*, you will leave around 6pm to return to Cusco by train or by a combination of train & bus. Please note that during the high season there are a number of different departure times for the trains that run only to Ollantaytambo, from where buses run onwards till Cusco. The type of return journey depends simply on availability. You will arrive back in Cusco around 9 - 9.30pm.
Approx 7km, 2 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.
Oct. 23, 2021: Stop at the California Route 66 Museum in Victorville, California. This museum opened in 1995 in the former 5,000 square foot Red Rooster Cafe building. The exhibits are constantly changed. After closure from Covid-19, the California Route 66 Museum is open Friday thru Sunday. One fun fact: The Red Rooster Cafe was used for filming the 1980 movie, "The Jazz Singer" starring Neil Diamond.
Photographed in Williams in Arizona, USA. Williams is the base for the Grand Canyon Railway and it is also a classic Route 66 town.
An end to the double decker monopoly on Public Service Routes of Geldards in Leeds? Here a Temsa Avenue ex-First Bradford operates Route 711 in Pudsey, Leeds, West Yorkshire. I was lucky to catch a glimmer of light for this shot. Unfortunately the blind display was a full height scrolling version meaning it was almost impossible to capture.
Construction workers clear dirt and rocks out of the creek where the old bridge used to be on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011. The new bridge is supposed to be at least two to four feet wider than its predecessor, MoDOT inspectors said. KOMU photo/ Chelsea Myers.
This abandoned church in Cuervo is in fairly good condition. Looks like it gets a little maintenance. A cursory search on the net didn't turn up any history. If you like ghost towns, this one is a prize and right along I-40, 16.8 miles east of Santa Rosa, NM.

A location usually associated with the 60s on the Northwich stone, played host to the Chirk logs today.

Although route 280 was a commercially operated town service running entirely in West Sussex, it too was affected by Surrey CC Bus Review phase 2.
It interworked with route 281 (and was actually therefore usually a double decker). Buses arriving at Stone Quarry Estate on the 281 had excessive time to kill as they had to delay the return to Crawley to maintain the combined frequency with the 291 from Tunbridge Wells.
Therefore they looped round various parts of East Grinstead as route 280, never really carrying any passengers.
With the Surrey CC-induced changes to the 409, route 281 was extended from Stone Quarry to Lingfield (to replace the East Grinstead - Worsted Farm - Stone Quarry - Dormansland - Lingfield section of the 409), and therefore the 280 was dropped, without replacement.
Metrobus Scania OmniCity 547 (YN05 HCC) is seen here in High Street heading for Stone Quarry.
The Surrey CC bus review would give this bus a new role, it was one of four allocated to and branded for the 400, a new route as a result of the review.

In School we walked through a few trails in the Rockefeller Preserve, and stopped at this bridge and turned back. This was about a month ago right when school ended. This short highway cut through the preserve.

One thought I had before starting this trip was to take photos of places that advertised their connection to US-6. This tire shop in Carbondale was the first place I noticed. It was also the last place I noticed for a couple of hundred miles.
