Well, I’ve finally got to the final state from our epic Route 66 adventure across the United States! We drove the entire route from Los Angeles in California through to Chicago in Illinois, sticking to the original route as closely as we could for the whole journey, using this incredible book to help us stay on track.

It's time for post seven in our photo essay series covering our Route 66 trip from California to Chicago, with Missouri being the seventh state on our adventure.

In what might be the longest running series of posts on this site, today I’m continuing my Route 66 Photo Story with Kansas – the sixth state on the route as we travelled from west to east. Two more to go! You can see highlights of the other Route66 states here. We’re nearly there folks! Now, I’ll be honest, Kansas was a bit tricky to do.

Here are some of our favourite photos from our Route 66 journey across the Lone Star State! A … [Read more...]

Highlights of Route 66 Arizona – In Photos
In mid-2015, Jess and I drove the entire 2,400 mile length of Route 66, from Santa Monica in California, up to Chicago, Illinois.
