Route 66, Day 7. Drove a total of 136 miles to cover 75 miles of old Rt 66. I decided to follow the older route through Carlinville, IL then scooting across IL Rt 16 into Litchfield where I picked up the post-1930 route. Another beautiful day, if cold overnight, but typical Illinois weather for November.
