A couple of years ago I decided to cycle the entire length of the "Mother Road". I stopped at every town along the way and took a picture of the city limit sign. Ending up being approximately 370 towns. A few small towns had no sign so I had to improvise. Taking city limit pictures was a good excuse for getting off my Surly long haul trucker to rest and soak in the town a little bit. I also took pictures of old signs, gas pumps and folk art. I started at the pier in Santa Monica and ended 6 weeks later in Chicago. I rode about 2400 miles total. There are two shoe trees on Route 66. One in Amboy and the other in Oklahoma. I hung shoes on both!

This quite the impressive ride!!!! I am sure you could write a small book about all of your trail magic, wild and crazy adventures of that trip.
My husband is out riding a 400 mile adventure for the next week in Kansas of all places.
We are both bike fans. He has been riding a lifetime, previously worked/painted for Davidson. I am fairly new to the riding scene, I have a couple of posts up with my fat bike.
Happy to find another fellow biker :) Looking forward to hearing more of your biking adventures.
ps I rode the Route 66 in my convertible 1969 GTO about 8 years ago.
