Janet and her husband Todd traveled the famed Mother Road, Route 66, in May of 2025. It was something they had thought about and dreamed of for a long time. After much research and planning they took the plunge, driving the entire route, Chicago to LA. Hear their strategy for the trip, what they liked, what they would do differently, how much they spent and recommendations for anyone thinking of making the trip themselves. And see lots of pictures. This is a repeat presentation of February's seminar which ended up being a snow day and some people could not attend. It will be largely the same presentation with some new thoughts and photos as Janet has recently revisited parts of the route.
