Stops Along Historic Route 66

Since Route 66 is an alternate route from Gallup to Jamestown, New Mexico, I drive it fairly often, most recently as two days ago (due to the backup from the construction work on I-40 near my exit).

There are things to see along the way between Santa Monica, California to Adrian, Texas and the Union-Bulletin highlights five of them. Oddly, there are no photos of any of them. So I'm including two of the highlighted places.

They start with:

It’s an iconic road trip across the western half of historic Route 66. Travel from the seaside city of Santa Monica to Williams, Arizona — the Gateway to the Grand Canyon — and on to Adrian, Texas, the midpoint on the famous route. (The full itinerary continues to Chicago) Along the way, you and your family will marvel at the wide-open spaces, the changing landscape and the rich history to be found as you follow the path of the original Mother Road.
