I realized last night that I'm very lucky to live so close to Route 66, so I drove down it last night.
I turned around after Knob Hill, but I wanted to keep going...
I drove West on Route 66 further than Knob Hill, and found that it doesn't go much further. In my ignorance and naivete, I thought that the old Route 66 still existed in its entirety, and that the Interstate highways that replaced it did so my building next to it.
Unfortunately, it would seem that the replacement was more of a displacement - huge sections of what used to be Route 66 is now I-40. The good news, however, is that there are still significant sections of old Route 66 in existence. One day, I'll visit them on my way to Las Vegas, Nevada :D
