Walk Forrest Walk & Route 66

7 Miles Today;  Another beautiful day for walking.  No snow and dry roads.  It's been four days since Forrest started taking his anti-inflammatory prescription for his hips and lower back.  I must admit, it really seems as of right now to be working.  I hope 15/mg pill called "Mobic" keeps me walking every day.
Forrest begins his new adventure today, a virtual trip taking me back to late 50's following one of America's most endured icons. 

"Route 66"

Known by several names throughout the years including the "Mother Road," "Main Street of America," and the "Will Rogers Highway," Route 66 served travelers for some 50 years, before totally succumbing to the so called "new and improved" interstate system.
Established in 1926, road signs began to be erected the following year, but, it would be several years before the 2,448 mile highway would be continuously paved from Chicago to Los Angeles. Running through the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, the highway became one of the most famous roads in America. For decades, this historic path served thousands who were migrating west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930's.  Forrest is ready, Until tomorrow, God Bless Walk Forrest Walk
