Albuquerque,
New Mexico Route 66:
Print of hand-drawn card from artist Bob Waldmire.
Route
66 was certified in 1926 when the nation adopted a numbered
system of cross-country, inter-state roads. Fully paved by
1936,
Route 66 became an important and legendary highway,
"immortalized" in literature, music and on television. Gradually "replaced" by huge homogeneous interstates, 66 was
decertified in 1985, ceasing to exist "officially." But well
over 80% of the old road is still drivable -- so, travel back in
time, and leave the stress behind -- on the interstates... and
then, you too will say: "I still get my kicks on old
Route
66!"
Postcard is new, unused and in very good condition. |

66+
Years Old ... And Still Kicking! - If
Route 66
were a belt, the
Amarillo
area would be the buckle. The center of the stretch from
Chicago to
L.A.,
also known as "Mother
Road" is still a great place to "Get your Kicks!"

Fort
Union National Monument - Six-pounder cannon - field cannon, such as
the six-pounder, were effective artillery pieces, a smaller version, the
twelve-pounder mountain howitzer with high-prairie carriage, was favored

the weight of the projectile they fired, a number of these guns were
warehoused at Fort Union, Watrous,
New Mexico. Postcard is new, unused and
in excellent condition.

From the Rocky Mountain General Store
Route
66 Books -
Legends of America and
the
Rocky Mountain General Store has collected a number of
Route 66 Books for our
Mother Road
enthusiasts. As great as
Route 66 is, if you aren't armed with a few good
tools on your journey, you'll miss great attractions, eateries, places to
stay, and wind up on the wrong path. To see this varied collection that
includes "how-to" books, travel guides, photograph books, attractions, and
more, click
