THIS TINY 66 TOWN, ESTABLISHED IN 1951,
TRUXTON, ARIZONA (ALT. 4,300 FT.)

IN 1857 IN HONOR OF HIS MOTHER, DURING HIS HISTORIC WAGON ROAD SURVEY
IN ITS HEYDAY, 66 KEPT THE TOWN Busy 24 HOURS A DAY, SUPPORT
ING A DOZEN BUSINESSES. TODAY, THE CENTER OF ACTIVITY IN
THE SLEEPY TOWN IS THE FRONTIER CAFE, A 1950's "MOM & POP"

ROUTE 66 WAS CERTIFIED IN 1926
WHEN THE NATION ADOPTED A NUMBERED SYSTEM OF CROSS-
COUNTRY, INTER-STATE ROADS. FULLY PAVED BY 1936,
ROUTE 66 BECAME AN IMPORTANT & LEGENDARY-
HIGHWAY IMMORTALIZED IN LITERATURE, MUSIC, & ON
TELEVISION. GRADUALLY "REPLACED BY HUGE HOMOGENEOUS
INTERSTATES," 66 WAS DECERTIFIED IN 1985, CEASING TO EXIST
BUT WELL OVER 80% OF THE OLD ROAD IS
OFFICIALLY:
STILL DRIVEABLE SO, TRAVEL BACK IN TIME, & LEAYE
THE STRESS BEHIND ON THE INTERSTATES...AND THEN,
YOU TOO WILL SAY: I STILL GET MY KICKS, ON OLD ROUTE 66
SMALL IS EAUTIFUL OLDIS BEAUTIFUL SLOW IS BEAUTIFUL SAFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
