Highways

We often talk about memories of Route 66. Have you traveled the complete Mother Road? What stretch or location do you remember most?

Ever travel the Lincoln Highway? We forget it's the first U.S. Highway. I have not and it appears to be a bucket-list item.

I hitchhiked to California in 1971, before I-40 was complete. I was standing on a corner in Kingman, Arizona. Andy Devine Blvd is what Route 66 was called there.

California in those days was a magical place...I spent my adult years there...it's all gone now...ruined by many disparate things...

I originally posted Winslow, but then I checked Google Maps and Kingman is where I saw Andy Devine Blvd, that name really stuck with me. Does I-40/Rte 66 go through Winslow?

Yes they do.

I've only done it to the west. I did that several times during the 50's and 60's going to visit relatives in LA. Staying at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona was a biggie for me as a child.
