So, we've been done for about a week and we're still going through our pictures. It is possible that we will have more blog posts at some point, expanding on various parts of the trip. In the meantime, however, you can check out the Flickr photostream at

(NOT WORKING ANYMORE.. Needs to be re-done.)
to see more pictures, some of which have location information. If you create an account on Flickr, you can ask to be added to our contacts so that you can see pictures that are not marked as public.

This is The End (8/9)
Rather anti-climactically, we drove to the intersection of Lincoln Boulevard (which Route 66 turned onto from Santa Monica Boulevard) and Olympic, said to be the western end/beginning of Route 66.
Santa Monica Pier (8/8)
Although not technically on Route 66, we went to the Santa Monica Pier to celebrate reaching the end of Route 66. We took a ride on the new ferris wheel and walked to the end of the pier. Compared to recent days on the road, it was quite chilly.
Colorado Street Bridge (8/8)
It was very hard to get a picture, while in a moving car, of this gorgeous 1913 bridge in Pasadena that was part of original Route 66. Definitely a place to go back to whenever we're in Los Angeles again.
Foothill Drive-In (8/8)
The drive-in theater is no more, but the sign still stands in Azusa, California.
Excellent! (8/8)
Yes, indeed, this is what at least one Route 66 alignment through San Dimas, California, looks like. Strange things are afoot on Route 66, Dude.
More Wigwams (8/8)
As we made our into the greater Los Angeles area on Route 66 (now a heavily used local road through the various parts of Los Angeles), we passed another Wigwam Motel. This time, however, it was surrounded by palm trees, not old cars and train tracks.
