The Little Book of Route 66 - Orange Hippo! - Bog

The essence of Americana, Route 66 is called the Mother Road but it's America's Main Street, embodying small-town values with its local stores, vintage service stations, neon signs, ghost towns, roadside attractions, motels and diners. Stretching from Chicago to Santa Monica over 2,400 miles and crossing three time zones, it's the road for pioneering Americans migrating West for a more prosperous life, and thus represents freedom, possibility, new horizons and the intrepid American spirit. The best road trip of them all, Route 66 is all about the journey, not the destination.
