This would allow large vessels to travel past the bridge. It’s only several thousand feet from old route 66 in Illinois. It’s definitely worth [...]

There are long broken stetches [...]

July 4, 2011

June 30, 2011 On the way home from a float trip at the Meramec River a detour sign caught my attention. I was driving east bound on MO Route 100, which shares some original paths of Route 66 through Missouri. The detour sign was placed on a section of old route 66 dating back to [...]
