“It’s  not the destination, it’s the journey.”

Connect with Others Just Like Us

We share a love of the Mother Road with several states from Illinois to California.  Each of these states has an association of their own and we share their pages and information here so that you can make plans to see what there is to see on this amazing journey.  
​
We also welcome International travelers and fans of Route 66. Check out the international perspective and it might inspire you further!

International Associations
