Another stop on the KS section of #Route66 is the Brush Creek bridge outside Baxter Springs. It is the last fixed Rainbow Arch Bridge on the route and allows for one way traffic.

Shamrock Court Historic Shamrock Court Motel located on Route 66 in Sullivan, Missouri.

I've been following the restoration of Shamrock Court for a few years now, and am excited that it opens before our next #Route66 adventure! Another piece of nostalgia brought back to life!

Did you know the shortest stretch of #Route66 is in Kansas? Do you like Pixar's Cars? Take a drive into #Galena and you'll find a "Sheriff" signed by Michael Wallis, and the inspiration for Mater at the restored Kan-O-Tex service station.

Am I the only person who WANTS to be on jury duty? I would love to serve on a jury.

I got a summons last month, and was selected, but didn't end up having to report at all. Called in twice, and then they released me. Oh well, better luck next time, I guess.

The abandoned Fort Courage in Houck, AZ on #Route66 . Inspired by F Troop, it closed in 2014. Once boasting a trading post, gas station, coffee house, pancake house, motel units, trailer park & campground - it now lays dormant; slowly decaying.

We did it for our anniversary! We are doing it again next year!

Get the passport. Use the Ultimate Route 66 App. Plan out some of your 'must dos' but leave room for stops.

Let's start with the ICONIC Twin Arrows. Sadly, one arrow fell in January 2022 - mere weeks after this photo was taken. Seeing the arrows for the first time in person was nothing short of amazing.

So, follow along, as I plan to post highlights of Route 66 from that trip, among some shorter day trips down 66 in IL and MO. Living in Illinois has its advantages for road trip lovers!

We did a very fast partial Route 66 trip for our honeymoon. Drove straight to Santa Monica pier by interstate & followed 66 all the way to TX before having to hit the interstate back home. Will be doing 2.5 weeks, the full route from IL to CA & back, in a little under a year from now. I can't wait!
