...Route 66 fun facts...
*it crosses 8 states...Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona & California
*it winds approximately 2,448 miles from Chicago to LA
*there is an intersection where 66 crosses itself at Central Ave/4th St in downtown Albuquerque
*the old round barn in Arcadia, OK is the most famous and most often photographed barn on 66
