I always thought the Illinois portion of Route 66 would be a rather boring, po-dunk sort of experience, but you guys really bring it to life as an interesting drive full of curious little places to stop and check out along the way!

Many of the stops definitely ARE still po-dunk, but interesting none the less. It made for a fun change to what was our regular commute. We left earlier than usual and planned to kill the day on the drive down. It’s funny how many things you pass without knowing it when you stay on the interstate.

Been done many times before and documented. Glad you finally discovered it.

Last year we hit the road and spent 50 days getting out to LA via 66; it was an unforgettable trip! https://www.dangtravelers.com/chicago-route-66-adventures/
