Copyright Adam Schallau, All Rights Reserved.It was known as “the Mother Road” and  “Main Street America”, but it was best known as Route 66. A long section of Route 66 once made it’s way through New Mexico and Arizona, paralleling the modern day route that I often take on the way to the Grand Canyon.

Crossing the wide open desert, it traverses a magnificent stretch of real estate that most drivers simply pass by at 80 miles per hour, doing their best to quickly close the gap between Albuquerque and Flagstaff. But along the way, if you slow down, look around, you will find a piece of American history.

Over the next few days I’ll be sharing with you some of my favorite photos from Route 66. Please click on the image for an expanded view.

Please leave a comment, I’d love to hear what you think.
