It goes through my home town (Granite City/Mitchell, IL), right before It crosses the Chain of Rock Bridge.
Also it parallels hwy 40. I didn't really care or notice till I stopped at a gas station in New Mexico and found a group of people who were actively following it.

hahh yea never pick up a hitchhiker on 66. theres plenty of small towns along the way, they'll be fine. it is kinda sad all these towns are goin to ***** because of all the highways, but i like the fact i live in a small town, it's always fun too see people come by in their hotrods.
