The Retrologist hits Route 66 — all of it
I just returned from my Chicago-to-LA road trip across all that’s left of Route 66. (Yep, our crew stayed as faithful to the Mother Road’s path as we could.)
I will have many more posts, photos and even videos of my trip in the days and weeks ahead. But I wanted to share with you all 238 photos I live-tweeted (via Instagram) on my cross-country journey.
Check them out in the Storify below, and stay tuned for more Route 66 coverage right here on The Retrologist.

This Instagram map marks our path from Chicago to LA on Route 66, along which I shared 239 iPhone photos. Back in NYC tonight, thanks to a shortcut courtesy of United Airlines. But I really wanted to drive to San Fran, jump on the Lincoln Highway at Lincoln Park, and drive until that historic highway ends in Times Square. That will have to wait for another trip.
