... at least, the Western Terminus of 66.
At approximately 4:10pm PDT, we arrived at the intersection of Lincoln Blvd & Olympic Blvd; the western end of Route 66 (as of 1936). Contrary to popular belief, Route 66 never made it to the Santa Monica Pier or even Ocean Avenue... or even within sight of the ocean or beach.
Simply put, the official end was kind of unsatisfying - especially after almost 3,000 miles on the car and being on the road for 12 days (including 2 1/2 in Santa Fe/Los Alamos).
The day's official blog will be posted, as usual, tomorrow; but we wanted to let people know that we are here.
