I came to California on Rte 66 all the way from wherever it connected to the east coast routes. It was 1972 and I lived in Princeton, NJ back then. Probably in Indiana. I'm so glad I was able to travel so far on that wonderful road. You miss so much now, driving on the interstate. Maybe I should write a post about that adventure.
