Trip trivia...

I forgot to mention earlier that once we left Springfield, MO, we traveled along Interstate 40 which follows along path of the old Route 66. While most of Route 66 is now part of the interstate, there are still a few places where you can get on the old road.

There are lots of websites and apps as well as books telling about the old route but to tell you the truth, we found very few places on the old road that were worth checking out. Most places were just shells of the old building with the windows missing or the building looked like it's age without much renovation. We stayed on Interstate 40 to Flagstaff, AZ. From there we headed north to the Grand Canyon.
