I'm Getting the Urge.....

to do the entire route.  However, as previously posted, due to scarce vacation days, I might do it in two parts.  Our planned journey in June will still start in Litchfield after driving the day before from Dayton.  I am yearning though, to see this sign "up close and personal":

The only way to see it, though, is to start in Chicago.  But no, that's not true.  The wife and I have discussed, and will probably do a weekend trip this spring; Dayton --> Chicago --> Litchfield --> Dayton.  Up to Chicago on a Friday night, Chicago to Litchfield on Route 66 during the day on Saturday, then home on Sunday.  Maybe the purists will think this is cheating, but at least I'll be able to say (after our June trip), that "I drove the entire route!".

And I got to see the sign !
