WALKING ROUTE 66

Chicago to L.A. — Recap Week 8

From Carthage to Joplin, Missouri, plus hiatus in Houston.

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 7, from day 43 to day 49, as I recount the odyssey and reflect on the memories and lessons learned.

The Journey Continues.

While the distance traveled on the road was 28 miles, I walked well over 80 miles, according to my Fitbit, while moving around looking for places to see, things to do, and at the gym and work.

Almost there.

Joplin, Missouri.

Taking a break.

Home sweet home.

Family Time.

Celebrating Eid.

Meeting celebrities.

As always, thanks for reading and responding.

Stay blessed and be happy, my friends.

Here are the recaps from previous weeks:
