16.) "ROUTE 66" THE MOTHER OF ALL ROADS

Imagine if one day you can make a trip with a motorcycle or even a motorhome along Route 66 having all the time in the world stopping whenever or wherever you want.

U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Road") was a highway within the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926 -- with road signs erected the following year.^[1]The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico,Arizona, and California, before ending in Los Angeles, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).^[2] It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup, originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946, and later performed by such artists as Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Manhattan Transfer and Depeche Mode) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.
