We saw lots of buildings just like this as we made our way across the country. To all...if you want to see any of it...better hurry...every year more buildings are gone! We put on over 9200 miles in our '29 Phaeton...what a trip...smiling every day!

We have more pictures of some of the buildings along the way laced into the days we were on Route 66 on our travel blog...

Scroll down and click on the picture of us in front of the mountain scene to get a full list of our days on the road. Note: We wrote the blog so our friends and family could keep track of us...excuse some of the humor...you might have to know us to understand it. We took close to 5,000 pictures while on the road...about 600 are included in the blog.

Good Day!
Dave, I followed your trip on your blog and thoroughly enjoyed it. And I just took a Google trip through Galena, and couldn't find that building on Rte. 66, but a little more cyber-wandering and I found it on the corner of Front and S. Main. Galena looks like a dyin' little town.
