Washington DC Trip February 16 - 18, 2004

Why the Trip?

During the Route 66 Caravan of 2003 a Petition was passed around to collect signatures showing support for the release of Route 66 Corridor Act monies for preservation. To date very little of the Corridor Act money authorized by Congress has been released.

Day One
Day Two

In February members of the Route 66 Caravan, Hampton Inn, and concerned preservationists from the Route 66 state associations will journey to Washington DC to meet with officials concerning this petition. Join us online for a full update of this historic trip.

Day Three
