I quit my job and traveled down Route 66

in #travel7 years ago

I had a great opportunity to quit my job and travel down Route 66 for a few months. My sister and her best friend had a head start, and I flew in to meet up with them. These are some of the cool things that we saw off Route 66 (with some detours).

For those that aren't familiar with Route 66 it's called the "mother road" of America. It starts in Chicago, and ends at the Santa Monica Pier in California.

Every visitor to the halfway point of Route 66 autographs this truck!

I'm afraid of heights, but I had to get a picture at the edge of the Grand Canyon!

Right before I slipped at the Grand Canyon:

What do they feed these trees in the south?!?!

Climbing the trees in the south ninja style!
