It was about 100 miles east is Amarillo, Texas almost near the Oklahoma border when we stopped for one of our stretch breaks. We were on the shoulder of Interstate highway 40 east and Jim decided to walk across the grass to the Historic Route 66 or as he and many also call it, "the mother Road. I put him on video and also took some still pictures. We played around for about 5 minutes and yes we did stretch. We were on some part of Route 66 back in 2007 & 2010.
This highway is also know as the Will Rodgers Highway. This was one of the Original highway within the USA. It was established on November 11, 1926. It ran from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California running through eight states.
Many may remember the TV show of the 1960s, Route 66 or the hit song, "Get Your Kicks On Route 66"
I think Jim got his kicks today.
