An Iconic Image of Our Road...Route 66

I've been off line working on photos for the past couple of months and I hope this post finds you all well. During that time, I came across this story of an image and the iconic road that all of use have read about over and over, Route 66. 
A few years ago Monique and I had the opportunity to retrace that strip of pavement from its start in Chicago to its finish at the Santa Monica Pier in California. Many times since, I've thought, "I gotta' do that again, another road trip." The one thing that sticks with me, is there is no better way to connect to the past Americana that we all think about.

Now for the story about this image.
