Trip Wrap-Up--Route 66 and Beyond

I've decided to rewrite the old Route 66 into a rap song about preservation:


Chicago to L.A. is America's gateway
Thousands of miles of motorway,
Are what make the country tick.

Well, it winds the Southwest.
Zig-zags of modern's best
Gallup is lookin' good.
Cause they've done as they should.
Leaving the best be
Setting their town free.

Coffee's bucking stars can assist.
As can Anymarts power bliss.
Save the arrows with a twist.

Nineteen hundreds El Paso, Gallup, New Mexico,
Gila Bend, Arizona and don't forget Neon's Mona,
a place that's saved the glittering lights west of Pamona.

Taking it to the west
Write an email to make 66 the best.
Give your congress a kick.
They've got a challenge to lick.

Would you rap at an speeding clip
Baby take that Southwest trip,
Scream your blips at saving Route 66.

And for the finale of pics from Route 66 (special thanks to the merchants and musuem owners of Wilcox, AZ for letting me take pictures of their historical documents)--
