Winter is the time in which I try to update the Schedule of Route 66 Events as much as possible for the coming year.
If there is a 2008 event in your town that you think would be of interest to Route 66 aficionados, e-mail me at route66news(at)yahoo(dot)com.
Look over the link above to see whether your event is already listed. If not, send it to me, and be sure you include a link or phone number so people can find more information about it.
Sunset at the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge November 23, 2007

The Old Chain of Rocks Bridge carried Route 66 over the Mississippi River from Madison, Ill., to St. Louis for decades. Those structures you see in the river are water intake towers. And that roaring sound in the video is water rushing over the natural chain of rocks near those towers.
The Old Chain of Rocks Bridge is now the world’s longest pedestrian bridge.
