I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Route 66 was the first roadway that connected Chicago to Los Angeles, creating the shortest route between the midwest and west coast. Established in 1926, this route became popular and many motels, roadside attractions, and gas stations popped up for travelers to stop at along the way. In 1985, the route was decommissioned but there are still many sites you can visit along this old historic route including Ambler’s Texaco Gas Station in Dwight.
