Route 66 at 100: The Ghost Road Still Calling West
There are roads you ride because they are beautiful. There are roads you ride because they are difficult. And then there are roads like Route 66 — roads you ride because somewhere along the way they became mythology. In 2026, Route 66 turns one hundred years old. A hundred years.
