I had the pleasure of catching up with Holly Shaffer from the Illinois Route 66 Heritage Project yesterday. She was super helpful with helping the project by sending information including a rundown of the events being held on Route 66 (I’ll post them ASAP). Their website has got a ton of info on the attractions that Illinois offers, it’s an exhaustive list and definitely worth a look if you’re traveling Route 66 this year.

The plans keep moving forward for the big trip this year. Justin found this great article on Route 66 done by National Geographic. The article really captures the essence in both “The Mother Road” and faith in humanity. I definitely recommend it.
