When I was on the way home from Cider Days I stopped along the highway and took a cool pic of the valley near my parents house. This year on the way home from Artsfest I was about a half mile from home when another cool photo presented itself.
I remember liking this stretch of highway even when I was a kid, long before I knew I would reside here. As luck would have it, I now travel this route constantly to get into town (Carthage) and also because Steph’s parents live about 3 miles up this way.
I like living on historic route 66. Most of the road itself isn’t anything special, but it represents an idea of nostalgia. Once a major thoroughfare, now it’s just an out of the way back road. But it’s famous and I think it’s cool having an address that is “Old Route 66″.
