WALKING ROUTE 66

Chicago to L.A. — Recap Week 5

From Ballwin to Rallo, Missouri.

Route 66 is America’s most famed highway. People come from all over the world to travel up or down the historic highway.

On July 20th, 2016, I set off to traverse the Historic Route 66 — from Chicago to Santa Monica — on foot.

Yes, it sounds crazy, but haven’t you ever had a crazy idea? Well, I decided to follow through on mine and finish it.

Here is the summary of week 4, from day 29 to Day 35, as I recount the odyssey and reflect on the memories and lessons learned.

The Journey Continues.

While the distance traveled on the road was less than 92 miles, I walked well over 108 miles, according to my Fitbit, while moving around looking for places to see, things to do, and rest stops.

You Never Know.

Uncertainty Rules.

Angels Everywhere.

The Original is King.

Another Rollercoaster.

Meeting Online Friends.

Mistakes Never Are.

Stay Blessed and be Happy, My Friends.

As always, thank you for reading and responding.
