If you want to see all the great stuff along Route 66, you just can’t drive 55! Â More often than not, you’ve got to sloooooowwwww down to a nice comfy 45 mph or so, sometimes slower. Â Sure, you won’t cover as much distance, but you’ll catch cool things, like this abandoned shack in Bridgeport, Oklahoma, that you might not see if you’re zipping by any faster. Â While I’ll drive a couple of miles per hour over the speed limit on the open road, I’m pretty much crawling when I get to towns (abandoned or inhabited) to make sure I take in all the eye candy. Â I also stop a lot to walk around and explore, and to photograph the cool bits. Â Try it sometimes where you live. Â You might be surprised to see how much you’ve missed.
