He used to lead the pack when we were on desert hikes or rockhunting expeditions. I believe the road in front of our house will be officially named Route 66, probably because the city wants to put an end to my pestering about it. Instead, in a letter to the City Council I offered to support designation of a historic Route 66 tour, with appropriate signs, and leave the present street names as they are. I heard it was well received. Actually I think everyone here is excited about having historic Route 66 officially signed and celebrated.
Strong evidence exists that it was on both streets at different periods.
