Have you ever explored remains along the old Route 66?
We've never done a road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles along the "mother road", but we have driven
along segments of the road. We've also stopped to visit some of the businesses and see some of the
attractions from years gone bye.
While staying just outside of St. Louis, we found or way to the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. From 1929 to
1968, the bridge was open to vehicle traffic, but today, it is a pedestrian only walkway. Unfortunately, the
weather wasn't cooperating. We would probably have walked across the entire one-mile span and back
again, but as the intensity of the rain kept increasing, we turned around just past the half-way mark.
