U.S. Route 69
U.S. Route 69 is a north–south United States highway. When it was first created, it was only 150 miles (241 km) long, but it has since been expanded into a Minnesota to Texas cross-country route. The highway's southern terminus (as well as those of US 287 and US 96) is in Port Arthur, Texas at an intersection with State Highway 87. Its northern terminus is in Albert Lea, Minnesota at Minnesota State Highway 13.
Route description
Texas
US 69 begins at its southern terminus with SH 87 in Port Arthur. This intersection is also the southern terminus for US 96 and US 287, which are concurrent with US 69. US 69, US 96, and US 287 continue in a northwest, then west, route until its intersection with Interstate 10 in southern Beaumont. At this intersection, US 69, US 96, and US 287 merge with I-10. I-10/US 69/US 96/US 287 continue in a northerly direction through Beaumont for several miles. Just after the intersection with US 90, I-10 splits from the multiplex and resumes its easterly course, leaving US 69, US 96, and US 287 heading northwest through Beaumont. US 69 north of I-10 is also known officially known as Eastex Freeway, and is an official evacuation route, just as Interstate 69/US 59 heading north from Houston is known as Eastex Freeway as well.

U.S. Route 66
U.S. Route 66 (US 66 or Route 66), also known as the Will Rogers Highway and colloquially known as the Main Street of America or the Mother Road, was one of the original highways within the U.S. Highway System. Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926, with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before ending at Santa Monica, California, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km). It was recognized in popular culture by both the hit song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.
Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.

U.S. Route 160
U.S. Route 160 is a 1,465 mile (2,358 km) long east–west United States highway in the Midwestern United States. The western terminus of the route is at US 89 five miles (8 km) west of Tuba City, Arizona. The eastern terminus is at US 67 and Missouri 158 southwest of Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
Its route, if not its number, was made famous in song in 1975, as the road from Wolf Creek Pass to Pagosa Springs, Colorado in C.W. McCall's country music song Wolf Creek Pass.
Route description
Arizona
US 160 begins at US 89 near the western edge of Navajo Nation. Near Tuba City, it intersects State Route 264. It goes through Tonalea and Cow Springs before entering Kayenta, where it intersects U.S. Route 163. It continues northeast through Dennehotso, then has a brief overlap with U.S. Route 191 in Mexican Water. It goes east until Teec Nos Pos, where it intersects U.S. Route 64, then turns northeast to go to the Four Corners and enters New Mexico.
US 160 is one of the major routes crossing the Navajo Nation and in Arizona does not leave the Navajo Nation.

Maryland Route 77
Maryland Route 77 (MD 77) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 20.74 miles (33.38 km) from MD 64 in Smithsburg east to MD 194 in Keymar. MD 77 is the main east–west highway of northern Frederick County. The state highway connects Thurmont with eastern Washington County via Foxville, which lies between South Mountain and Catoctin Mountain near Catoctin Mountain Park and Cunningham Falls State Park. MD 77 links Thurmont with western Carroll County through the communities of Graceham, Rocky Ridge, and Detour in the Monocacy River valley. MD 77 was constructed from Thurmont east to Detour in the 1920s and early 1930s. A disjoint section of MD 77 was built between Cavetown and Foxville in the late 1930s. The portions of the modern highway between Foxville and Thurmont and from Detour to Keymar were county highways until they were designated part of MD 77 in 1956. MD 77's western terminus was moved east to MD 64 in Smithsburg in 1960.

California State Route 185
State Route 185 (SR 185) is a state highway in the San Francisco Bay Area of the U.S. state of California. It runs along sections of Mission Boulevard in Hayward, East 14th Street in San Leandro and International Boulevard in Oakland.
Route description
The south end of SR 185 is defined to be at State Route 92 (Jackson St) in Hayward. However, the part in Hayward south of A Street was relinquished in 2010. Mission Boulevard from A Street south to SR 92 is part of the one-way "Hayward Loop" (part of State Route 238), where traffic travels one-way northbound on Foothill Boulevard, and one-way southbound on A Street and Mission Boulevard. It is unclear whether this loop is also part of SR 185 or not. SR 185 heads northwest on Mission Boulevard and East 14th Street, crossing under Interstate 238, and meeting the east end of State Route 112 (signed as State Route 61) in downtown San Leandro.
The north end of SR 185 lies just northwest of High Street in Oakland at 42nd Avenue, where the short State Route 77 heads southwest to Interstate 880. SR 77 was originally signed as SR 185 from SR 185's terminus to I-880; as of August 2008, Caltrans had erected SR 77 shields in place of SR 185 shields as reassurance markers and freeway entrance signage at SR 77's two onramps. SR 77 was originally a freeway; however, as of 2011, the interchange with I-880 had been converted to consist of intersections, as part of the I-880 High Street Seismic Retrofit Project, therefore SR 77 cannot be considered a freeway anymore.

Highway 77 (Israel)
Highway 77 is an east-west highway in northern Israel. It crosses the Lower Galilee in the region of Beit Netofa Valley. The road leads from Yishai junction next to Ramat Yishai to Tiberias. It is 42 km long (not including the future extension to Tel Qashish).
Completion of the western-most section of the road, from Tel Qashish/Highway 6 to the future Yishai interchange will form the final link of a freeway corridor extending from southern Israel to the central Galilee. Construction on this section is expected to start in 2016 at a cost of NIS 630 million (appx. US$190 million). Also planned is converting of the Hamovil–Golani section to a freeway, making the entire western 28 km of the road a freeway.

U.S. Route 77 in Nebraska
U.S. Highway 77 (US-77) in the state of Nebraska is a stretch of the greater U.S. Route 77 highway. Nebraska's portion runs south–north across the eastern portion of the state, emerging from Kansas in Gage County south of Wymore, and ending in Dakota County north of South Sioux City, before making a brief entrance into Iowa.
Route description
In Nebraska, US-77 is a major north–south artery connecting the capital city of Lincoln with outlying areas to the north and south. The highway is designated as the Homestead Expressway from Beatrice to Interstate 80 (I-80) at Lincoln. In Lincoln, US-77 becomes a full controlled-access expressway before it overlaps with I-80 for about 8 miles. North of I-80, US-77 continues as an expressway to Wahoo, where it becomes a two-lane undivided road. It remains a two-lane highway except for two sections near Fremont, which are four-lane divided highways. The expressway north of Fremont is shared with US-275 and Nebraska Highway 91 (N-91). US-275 and N-91 separate from US-77 just south of Winslow, Nebraska and US-77 continues north as a two-lane highway until it meets U.S. Route 75 at Winnebago. The two highways run together to the junction of I-129 and US-20 at Dakota City, where US-75 breaks off and US-77 continues northward as a divided highway through South Sioux City before exiting the state via the Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge. The national end of US-77 lies four-tenths mile (640 m) on the other side of the bridge, at an interchange with I-29 in Sioux City, Iowa.

Route 66 has gained a reputation as the United States of America’s most famous road. How did that happen, and why does it still matter?
In this episode of Vox Almanac, Vox’s Phil Edwards explores the history of the road and the textures of its present, from the road itself to the roadside attractions along the way, to the people who enjoy its diversions and those who help maintain them. It reveals a road that’s changed a lot over the decades but remains vital in unexpected ways.
When Cyrus Avery helped found Route 66 in the 1920s, he strived to create a road that would connect the Midwest to the West, and he resorted to promotional tricks and wheeling and dealing to get it done. The road quickly became a key route for migrants escaping the dust bowl and depression, forming its early reputation as “the Mother Road.”
That’s because it’s a road that’s more than a strip of concrete (or gravel, or dirt). It’s a historical document of everyone who’s traveled on it — as the many contributions from Vox’s YouTube subscribers show, that keeps it going even as the interstates run alongside it.
The number of Route 66 resources out there is huge, but we found these particularly helpful.

Driving Route 66, often referred to as America's Main Street, is a nostalgic journey through the heart of the United States, offering travelers a glimpse into the nation's rich history, diverse landscapes, and the iconic American spirit. This historic highway, officially known as U.S. Route 66, stretches approximately 2,448 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states along the way.
Embarking on a road trip along Route 66 is like stepping back in time, as the route preserves the charm and character of a bygone era. The highway was established in 1926 and played a crucial role in connecting the East and West coasts of the United States, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange. Today, driving Route 66 is not just a road trip; it's an immersive experience that allows travelers to witness the evolution of American culture.
The journey begins in Chicago, where Route 66 starts its westward course. As you traverse the route, you'll encounter a fascinating array of landmarks, roadside attractions, and small towns that capture the essence of American history. The iconic architecture of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona, or the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, are just a couple of examples of the quirky and distinctive sites that dot the landscape.
Each state along Route 66 boasts its own unique flavor, from the vast plains of Oklahoma to the stunning desert landscapes of Arizona and California. The route takes you through the Ozarks, the Texas Panhandle, and the picturesque landscapes of New Mexico, offering a diverse tapestry of scenery that changes with every mile.
One of the charms of Route 66 is the opportunity to interact with locals in the small towns that line the highway. These communities have preserved the spirit of the Mother Road, and travelers can enjoy authentic diners, museums, and shops that pay homage to the route's history. The people you meet along the way will share their stories, adding a personal touch to your journey.
As you approach the end of the route in Santa Monica, California, the sense of accomplishment is palpable. The journey along Route 66 is not just about reaching the destination but embracing the adventure and discovery along the way. Driving America's Main Street is a nostalgic and unforgettable experience, weaving together the threads of history, culture, and the open road into a tapestry of the American dream.

Driving Route 66, often referred to as America's Main Street, is a nostalgic journey through the heart of the United States, offering travelers a glimpse into the nation's rich history, diverse landscapes, and the iconic American spirit. This historic highway, officially known as U.S. Route 66, stretches approximately 2,448 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states along the way.
Embarking on a road trip along Route 66 is like stepping back in time, as the route preserves the charm and character of a bygone era. The highway was established in 1926 and played a crucial role in connecting the East and West coasts of the United States, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange. Today, driving Route 66 is not just a road trip; it's an immersive experience that allows travelers to witness the evolution of American culture.
The journey begins in Chicago, where Route 66 starts its westward course. As you traverse the route, you'll encounter a fascinating array of landmarks, roadside attractions, and small towns that capture the essence of American history. The iconic architecture of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona, or the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, are just a couple of examples of the quirky and distinctive sites that dot the landscape.
Each state along Route 66 boasts its own unique flavor, from the vast plains of Oklahoma to the stunning desert landscapes of Arizona and California. The route takes you through the Ozarks, the Texas Panhandle, and the picturesque landscapes of New Mexico, offering a diverse tapestry of scenery that changes with every mile.
One of the charms of Route 66 is the opportunity to interact with locals in the small towns that line the highway. These communities have preserved the spirit of the Mother Road, and travelers can enjoy authentic diners, museums, and shops that pay homage to the route's history. The people you meet along the way will share their stories, adding a personal touch to your journey.
As you approach the end of the route in Santa Monica, California, the sense of accomplishment is palpable. The journey along Route 66 is not just about reaching the destination but embracing the adventure and discovery along the way. Driving America's Main Street is a nostalgic and unforgettable experience, weaving together the threads of history, culture, and the open road into a tapestry of the American dream.

Route 66 is the United State's historic highway that was established in 1926, It is over 2,400 miles, and it goes from Santa Monica, California to Chicago, Illinois. The route was used by many who migrated west during the 1900s and it was popularized in songs, TV series and The Grapes of Wrath. My dad and I went on a full Route 66 road trip over 14 days in June of 2019 and made this video to share what the route looked like during that time period and to encourage others to drive this historic road.

U.S. Route 66, also known as the Will Rogers Highway, was one of the original highways constructed by the U.S. Highway System in 1926. Route 66 is over 90 years old and definitely, a road less traveled. There are plenty of weird attractions to be seen along this iconic road that starts in Chicago and ends in Los Angeles. While much of Route 66 has disappeared following its decommissioning as a major American highway in 1985, there remains plenty of evidence to be seen and cherished by historical and pop-cultural lovers. Large chunks of Route 66-related memorabilia have been preserved at the Route 66 Association Hall of Fame and Museum.

Route 66 has gained a reputation as the United States of America’s most famous road. How did that happen, and why does it still matter?
In this episode of Vox Almanac, Vox’s Phil Edwards explores the history of the road and the textures of its present, from the road itself to the roadside attractions along the way, to the people who enjoy its diversions and those who help maintain them. It reveals a road that’s changed a lot over the decades but remains vital in unexpected ways.
When Cyrus Avery helped found Route 66 in the 1920s, he strived to create a road that would connect the Midwest to the West, and he resorted to promotional tricks and wheeling and dealing to get it done. The road quickly became a key route for migrants escaping the dust bowl and depression, forming its early reputation as “the Mother Road.”
That’s because it’s a road that’s more than a strip of concrete (or gravel, or dirt). It’s a historical document of everyone who’s traveled on it — as the many contributions from Vox’s YouTube subscribers show, that keeps it going even as the interstates run alongside it.
The number of Route 66 resources out there is huge, but we found these particularly helpful.

Route 66 is one of the most famous drives in the world. I got a chance to drive it with my dad and we had a blast exploring all of the fun, weird and historic spots along the route. We spent 14 days driving from Santa Monica to Chicago and saw as much as we could on the drive. Here are a few of our favorite spots and let us know what your favorites are in the comments.

Driving Route 66, often referred to as America's Main Street, is a nostalgic journey through the heart of the United States, offering travelers a glimpse into the nation's rich history, diverse landscapes, and the iconic American spirit. This historic highway, officially known as U.S. Route 66, stretches approximately 2,448 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states along the way.
Embarking on a road trip along Route 66 is like stepping back in time, as the route preserves the charm and character of a bygone era. The highway was established in 1926 and played a crucial role in connecting the East and West coasts of the United States, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange. Today, driving Route 66 is not just a road trip; it's an immersive experience that allows travelers to witness the evolution of American culture.
The journey begins in Chicago, where Route 66 starts its westward course. As you traverse the route, you'll encounter a fascinating array of landmarks, roadside attractions, and small towns that capture the essence of American history. The iconic architecture of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona, or the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, are just a couple of examples of the quirky and distinctive sites that dot the landscape.
Each state along Route 66 boasts its own unique flavor, from the vast plains of Oklahoma to the stunning desert landscapes of Arizona and California. The route takes you through the Ozarks, the Texas Panhandle, and the picturesque landscapes of New Mexico, offering a diverse tapestry of scenery that changes with every mile.
One of the charms of Route 66 is the opportunity to interact with locals in the small towns that line the highway. These communities have preserved the spirit of the Mother Road, and travelers can enjoy authentic diners, museums, and shops that pay homage to the route's history. The people you meet along the way will share their stories, adding a personal touch to your journey.
As you approach the end of the route in Santa Monica, California, the sense of accomplishment is palpable. The journey along Route 66 is not just about reaching the destination but embracing the adventure and discovery along the way. Driving America's Main Street is a nostalgic and unforgettable experience, weaving together the threads of history, culture, and the open road into a tapestry of the American dream.

U.S. Route 69
U.S. Route 69 is a north–south United States highway. When it was first created, it was only 150 miles (241 km) long, but it has since been expanded into a Minnesota to Texas cross-country route. The highway's southern terminus (as well as those of US 287 and US 96) is in Port Arthur, Texas at an intersection with State Highway 87. Its northern terminus is in Albert Lea, Minnesota at Minnesota State Highway 13.
Route description
Texas
US 69 begins at its southern terminus with SH 87 in Port Arthur. This intersection is also the southern terminus for US 96 and US 287, which are concurrent with US 69. US 69, US 96, and US 287 continue in a northwest, then west, route until its intersection with Interstate 10 in southern Beaumont. At this intersection, US 69, US 96, and US 287 merge with I-10. I-10/US 69/US 96/US 287 continue in a northerly direction through Beaumont for several miles. Just after the intersection with US 90, I-10 splits from the multiplex and resumes its easterly course, leaving US 69, US 96, and US 287 heading northwest through Beaumont. US 69 north of I-10 is also known officially known as Eastex Freeway, and is an official evacuation route, just as Interstate 69/US 59 heading north from Houston is known as Eastex Freeway as well.

I Was Right
by: Smoking PopesI wasted so much more than time
And the one with whom I was as one
Has now undone what came to be known as our love
Which could not contain all that which she'd become
I was flat out wrong
And with both hands on the days gone by
I gripped my eyes wide open
Because I can't sleep at night
The world is much too cold
Without someone there to hold me or to hold
That's the way it goes
And I always thought that I would die
If you ever told me goodbye
But it wasn't until tonight
Tonight, I found out I was right
I wasted almost all my life
Being so afraid to fail I hardly tried
I found a place to hide
I dove into you
I swam around, around inside
But I'm not the boy that you destroyed
I'm stronger than he was
I had to be to survive
I'm lucky to be alive
The me you left behind
Is still lying there
With his eyes froze open wide
And I always thought that I would die
If you ever told me goodbye
But it wasn't until tonight
