13.  Cruise Classic Route 66

 

“Get your kicks on route six six . . .” Yes, this historic highway even rates its own song.  Why?  Because it’s well worth exploring– in whole or in part.

Start off in Chicago then simply follow the generally “turn-by-turn directions” to follow this classic route.  There are many places to stop too.  Noteworthy highlights include the Cadillac Ranch , The Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, the Polk-a-Dot Drive In, the 80-foot Blue Whale, and even Rancho Cucamonga, the current home of your rovin’ writer!

 

14.  The Mississippi River

Follow the Mississippi River along the 3,00-mile-long Great River Road.  Along the way be sure to stop in Chicago, Illinois, Madison, Wisconsin, and Saint Paul, Minnesota.  Detour into Nashville, Tennessee, and Jackson, Mississippi.  Spend some time in Mississippi Palisades State Park, too.  Here you can set up camp, go hiking, or relax and simply commune with nature.
