I live on old route 66. Lots of interesting things past my house.
All the little electric cars.
Parades
Sometimes a couple of hundred motorcycles.
People taking pictures.
Always interesting.

I have been up and down route 66

I have some old 8 milimeter film of us on 66

Years ago while driving a truck west on old 66 . It was winter time and the roads had patchy ice here and there . I started down the grade just this side of Devils Elbow Mo ( just East of Waynesville Mo ) .
About halfway down the hill . The road bed was covered with about 4 inches of solid ice . Old 66 road bed had those water concrete drains on both sides of the road . When my trailers front tandons hit the ice , The trailer jack knifed . I slide down the hill , threw the old concrete bridge . Never hit a thing . The road on the Westside of the bridge was dry . The trailer just straighten right up and I was on myway safe and sound.
On my way about 2 miles too the 128 Truck Port , that is . I had to stop and give my legs a chance to stop shaking . LoL
"Old 66 was no cakewalk for a truck & trailer :"

Route 66 is a wonderful piece of our history. Take a drive down it and revisit the past. See places that you would not normally see, visit with people that can remember back when, take pictures of things that may not be there tomorrow. Every year there is something lost along Route 66 that can never be brought back. Enjoy it while you can.
