ROUTE 66, THE MOTHER ROAD!!! 🇺🇸
(Excerpts from the epic road journey of Pam, Andi, Leas from Switzerland which lasted for a total of 6 years. They are back to their hometown in Switzerland in early June 2020)
The world famous Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926 and originally ran from Chicago (Illinois) all the way over to Santa Monica in Los Angeles County (California), covering a total of 3940km (2448 miles)!
US 66 served as a primary route for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and the road supported the economies of the communities through which it 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.
