Famous Route

 Our trip east since we got to I 40 by Flagstaff has taken us right along the famous Route 66.    Most people just zoom along on the interstate, but if you get off the highway and travel local roads, many small towns along the route celebrate and acknowledge the path of that well-traveled road running from Chicago to California.  

If you look carefully beyond the rusty car, you can see the row of telephone poles that follow the original roadbed.
