Route 66

Bob, Karon and Holland follow the Mother Road from Chicago to Los Angeles, detouring to Las Vegas and finishing the trip in San Francisco.

Plenty of planning went into this trip. Flights were booked – in to Chicago and out from San Francisco, a hire car, accommodation along the way and tickets/bookings for some of the attractions. It was a pretty full itinerary but we still had time to explore.

We spent about an hour on the trail and that was enough. According to the guides, there are regular rescues below, where people underestimate the severity of the walk down to the river and how much it can take out of someone. We made sure we drank plenty.
