This series of caches is dedicated to the "Old Mother Road." Route 66 was commissioned when the Federal Highway Commission was formed in 1926. Originally commissioned as US 60, the name of the road was changed to Route 66 as it didn't extend from coast to coast. Most believe that Route 66 goes from East to West, and it began in Chicago, IL, leading to MO, KS, OK, TX, NM, AZ, and ended at the Santa Monica pier in CA. Route 66 was decommissioned in 1986 when the final portions of I-40 were completed.
In Texas, many times I-40 was placed on top of the Old Mother Road, leaving no "Bones" for us to view. With this series, we hope to show you a few bones and a few of the remaining icons of "The Road."
This cache is at McLean. This site is the old two lane Rt 66 from 1933 to the 1940's. You are actually standing on an section of "antique" Rt 66 when you look for the cache. From this cache, head into McLean, on the four lane version of Rt 66, and visit the Red River steak House (GREAT chicken fried steak and complimentary cobbler!!), the Cactus Inn, the restored Phillip 66 Station and the Devil's Rope/Rt 66 Museum.
Go West young man again, from McLean, as Bones of Rt 66, TX-#3 is to the West.
