Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

U.S. Route 66
The famous highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, encompassing a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).
U.S. Route 66 (colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Road") was a highway in the U.S. Highway System since 1926.
US 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name "Historic Route 66".
