Chasing the Legacy: A Centennial Road Trip Along Route 66
In this episode, we dive into the romance of the open road through a once-in-a-lifetime road trip celebrating the 100th anniversary of Route 66. Guests Markku Jaakkola and Jacob Gilbert share plans for an epic journey that begins in Detroit, winds through Chicago, follows the full length of historic Route 66 to Santa Monica, and continues on to Monterey Car Week. Along the way, they highlight iconic travel destinations such as Cadillac Ranch in Texas, Kingman, Arizona, restored roadside landmarks in Illinois, and classic diners, gas stations, and small towns that preserve the spirit of America’s “Mother Road.” More than just a drive, the conversation reflects on travel as a way to honor history, create irreplaceable memories, and inspire listeners to slow down, explore back roads, and experience the country mile by mile.
