A Glitch On Route 76

Looks like Route 66 is coming to an end in more ways than one… Bill and I will continue on Route 76 AKA Highway 40 through Arkansas, and Tennessee before we land in North Carolina. Some of the relics and highlights of the decimated debris that is left of Route 66 are shown here. […]
