Driving the Route 66, from Chicago to LA 2009

[MrSuperRileymoore]

on your 4th slide show there where is that at on route 66

[MrSuperRileymoore]

why did they close route 66 and where does it start in Chicago,Illinois and where does it end in Los Angeles,California

[fambruinsma]

@MrSuperRileymoore the start is downtown Chicago and the end on the santa monica boulevard in LA. I think the route 66 was closed because they build a new interstate highway next to the route 66.

These nothing like that here in Australia. Can't wait to see America hopefully next year. :)

[33scottyp]

I would love to drive along Route 66 one day. Would be awesome.

[fambruinsma]

@33scottyp Great experience!

[TheMiddleMan667]

honest question, why do European people have such a fascination with Rt 66, i'm from New Jersey and it seems nice to ride on if you're running away from parents or starting a new life or something lol but besides that, idk, seems cool but wouldn't be something on my things to do before i die... anybody care to explain why they like it?

[jeffraywotwot]

@TheMiddleMan667 Because we are fascinated by American culture and want to experience it :)

[lukio583]

@TheMiddleMan667 the same question is why do people like too walk hours in paris or london

ik is just a nice way too see alot of america

[fambruinsma]

Great video brother. How many hours did it take for you to get to LA from Illinois?

[fambruinsma]

@manusabu

We traveled for 5 weeks on the route 66 :-) but just driving the route 66 would take you between the 12-15 days.

@fambruinsma

Wow, that's long trip, I believe you are enjoy driving/riding on Route 66.

[fambruinsma]

@2jzgtejza80 Yes, best trip ever!

[funtyrone]

[fambruinsma]

Great route funtyrone! Never seen Housten and Dalles. Maybe next time ;)

[funtyrone]

we drove from route 66 to get to MS, well, starting from kingman az, going through tucson, phoennix, albuquerquee NM, santa fe, Amarillo, TX, san antonio, houston, dallas, and wichitaw falls, i think got off of 66 in lafayette, LA

[tylermrnak]

@funtyrone ....Historic Route 66 doesn't go through San Antonio, Houstin, Dallas, or Wichita Falls, nor does it even go through any of Louisiana.....

@fambruinsma Good old route 66 i got to drive half of it 2 years ago i went from Dallas to LA then up to San Fran. Just wondering but what was your favorite part of the route mine was the Mojave desert and Death Valley

[fambruinsma]

@Awasman777 We liked New Mexico and Arizona the best! In Illinois is not much to see allong the route 66.
