Getting My Kicks on Route 66 in Kansas & Missouri

Posted byChristi IfferganPosted inKansas, MissouriTags:, ,

This is my first trip traveling on Route 66 and it has not disappointed!

Galena, Kansas Route 66 mural

Three states at one time!

A little history

U.S. Highway 66 — popularly known as Route 66 or the Mother Road — holds a special place in American consciousness and evokes images of simpler times, mom and pop businesses, and the icons of a mobile nation on the road.   

Route 66 crosses 8 states and 3 time zones. The states that the Mother Road runs through are Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

Just a few of the sights along my way.

Route 66 was commissioned on November 11, 1926.

Do you have any suggestions for places to visit?  I would love to hear about them.

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!

  2. Glad that you are having a trip of a lifetime…so some worthwhile places….Cripple creek Colorado (old mining town)
    It use to be quaint now I think there’s gambling there…Sedona Arizona (beautiful but expensive) Brice & Zion national parks but only in summer and Going to the Sun highway in Montana
