While Route 66 is an interesting and picturesque old highway, it wasn't the only one built in that era, nor is it the only one remaining. Indeed, the odds are very good that an old U.S. Route isn't too far from where you live today, and it's probably chock full of decrepit old motels and ramshackle tourist traps.
A few of my favorites are U.S. Route 40 in Maryland, US 11 in Virginia, Route 30 (The Lincoln Highway) in Pennsylvania, and the true "mother road" - U.S. 1, which stretches from Maine to the Florida Keys.
There are many others and they are all rapidly changing. The time to explore these places is now, before they disappear entirely.
