Carlinville, Ill to Chicago, Ill
This day turned out to be a lot longer than planned so I am posting it a day late.
Out of all the miles of concrete poured it is amazing that these are the only animal tracks.
This section of 66 was brick. It is 1.4 miles long.
Cozy Dogs (the original corn dog) at 10am yummy.
Route 66 goes by the capitol of Ill
Famous old gas station with lots of old stuff
Giant Abe Lincoln
Route 66 runs through farm country so there are a lot of silos to see
The country side
Atlanta, Ill has a lot of murals we liked this one
Bunyon gaint and his hot dog.
At one time this was a very busy truck stop, not so much now
but they still serve lunch.
I wanted to get some sirup (yes they spell it this way on purpose) but it was sold out
We are in farm country can you tell?
A fixed up Standard Oil station
I don't think thesse will give you gas anymore.
David and the Blues Brothers dancing at the Poke a Dot drive in
Gemini Giant at
the Launching Pad - fast food place.
The Joliet Museum
This is an operating tow service.
There it is Chicago
The River
Downtown
We made it!!!!!!!!
This is the begining sign around the block
Lake Michigan
A storm is coming in. The windy city is just that!
Looking at Chicago from the pier
We left the windy city to find a motel as it started to rain.
It was a very fun trip. We met some very nice people and saw a lot of neat things!
The following link will lead you to the info about route 66 and the characters in the movie cars
