12. especially on the ghost alignments
like the extant one in illinois that has a 1919 vintage that is just a ribbon of road in the middle of a cornfield.

plus the WPA bridges. hell yeah!

18. Hi data, big 66 fan? right on, brutha!!
not too many of the old wpa bridges left, sad to say. The replaced one of the last ones a few years ago in that little corner of Kansas that 66 cuts through.

Ever been to Hackberry AZ, or Oatman, AZ? Ever stay at the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari?

23. i'm a big time road nerd
i can never have enough historical information about all types of roads.

been on 666 in AZ before it was decomissioned.

stayed at my share of historical "motor courts," "motels," and other types of places like that, but never the blue swallow.

My youngest likes watching "Cars", and now I've got an itch to see the old road.
