Get Your Kicks (and Clicks!) on Route 66 with Big Mike!

Dust off your boots and get ready for a virtual road trip down the Mother Road with yours truly, Big Mike! My blog is your one-stop shop for everything Route 66, covering all eight states and over 2,400 miles of pure Americana. From the iconic roadside attractions to the hidden gems only the locals know, I’m bringing you the stories, the photos, and the raw experience of this legendary highway.

Forget those sterile travel guides. I’m not just telling you what to see, I’m telling you why it matters. We’ll cruise through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and finally, Illinois, experiencing the diverse landscapes and vibrant cultures that make Route 66 so unique. Think quirky diners serving up classic comfort food, breathtaking vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see, and the echoes of a bygone era whispering from every historic building.

Remember Winona, Arizona? Of course you do! And we’ll be stopping in Winslow, Arizona, too – the town made famous by the Eagles’ “Take It Easy.” We’ll even crank up some Bobby Troup and “Get Our Kicks on Route 66” as we explore the very spots that inspired that classic. From the Route 66 Road Relics in Seligman (my personal favorite!) to… well, you’ll have to read the blog to find out the rest!

This isn’t just a blog; it’s a journey. Join me as we uncover the soul of Route 66, one mile at a time. Expect regular updates packed with stunning photography, engaging stories, and insider tips to help you plan your own ultimate Route 66 adventure. So, what are you waiting for?
