A quick trip on a piece of Missouri Route 66 (after a stop at Grant's Farm), a stop at Passport Sticker Station #1 for a drive across the Chain-of-Rocks Bridge, and ending at the start of the Edwardsville Route 66 Celebration (and a quick hailstorm & tornado for the classic autos).
Signs along The Road. Anyone else think this is amusing? |
Four-Lane 66 near the Devil's Elbow. |
The Hooker Cut. At one time, It was one of the deepest rock cuts in the US. |

Up on the bridge deck heading for the bend. |
Our car. It is a CandyApple Red 1966 Mustang Coupe with a Black Interior. Fortunately it also has factory air conditioning (it was a cooker; both hot AND humid) |
Looking towards IL from just short of the bend. |

Rainbow over Edwardsville after the storm passed. No pictures from the celebration since I don't have a flash on my digital camera. Was a soggy, but good, time. |
Hiding out under a tree from the thunder/hail storm on Route 66. Managed to avoid any dings from the hail but we got real wet. |
This space for rent.
