i have lived on route 66 for much of my life. literally a hundred yards or so from it for... i think it's been 9 years total. now i live about 6 miles north of the old thing. there are some genuine points of interest close to where i live.

if you've read john steinbeck's "grapes of wrath" you'll recognize some of my local landmarks in the prose. i frequently fish off one of the bridges they crossed and a decent makeout spot is right off their route.

here is a pic of the bridge i took on a dreary day last fall.
