WHY THIS IS A
CLASSIC TRIP
NATE.CAVALIERI,.

Maybe it goes back to the transient
vagabonds who founded this
country, but there’s a persistent
call, deep in the American psyche,
that compels us to hit the open
road. And no road is quite as
satisfying as the endless two-lane
blacktop of Route 66. The subject
of sing-alongs and fodder for
daydreams, traveling this classic
trail to the Pacific shore is an
essentially American experience.
