Route 66 turns 100 today!
Our jigsaw puzzle for today is because it’s Route 66 100’th birthday! While it didn’t go through North Carolina, I drove a couple hundred miles on it back in the 70’s when I went on a bit of a road trip.
It was fun and had some interesting sights. Friendly people (mostly,) plenty of gas stations, (gas was about 25 cents a gallon,) and good food at roadside diners!
I even spent the night in a cheap motel on the route where I walked across the street to a restaurant and had waffles for breakfast.
The bad news is I can’t remember the names of any of the places I stopped, although I do remember playing miniature golf at a place not too far off the highway. I saw a sign advertising it and made a quick left turn, drove a few blocks, and found it.
Well, it was a nice trip. Perhaps one of these days, I’ll go on a major vacation and drive the whole thing.
Enjoy today’s jigsaw puzzle, and to all of my fellow veterans, Happy Veteran’s Day!
