Route 66 road trip
- Thread starter Clay Showalter
- Start date
I agree lots of it was cool to see but did make me sad, people put all they had into making a business go then something changes and it dies. It is amazing to see the ones that still hold on, I will post some photos soon of a motel that still has all the original furniture and phone from the 40's.
Also from Chicago to Santa Monica we meet nothing but super nice people all along the way.
