KANSAS
Our next stop was Kansas, the shortest section of 66, with only 13.2 miles.�� It was still pretty interesting though.�� This was the only place on 66 that we still found the 66 emblem painted on the road, although I'm sure it's in other areas as well.�� Our first stop was in Galena, Kansas.�� In Kansas they still have the highway signs for old 66 prominently displayed as pictured below.��� We also stopped at the Old� Riverton Store.�� It is basically an old country store as well as a tourist gift shop.� The owner is very friendly and talked about 66 with us for quite some time.� Just outside the town is the Rainbow Curve Bridge.�� It is an arched bridge and a Route 66 original.�� There is a new bridge next to it on the main road, so it makes it nice that you can turn off the main road and park right on the bridge.�� We took a few pictures and looked around before heading out.�� The bridge was covered in graffiti at the time, but I have seen some recent pictures of the bridge and it has been repainted.�
To the left is just a picture of another Kansas road sign.�� Along with the old 66 signs, Kansas has designated the old Route 66 as Kansas 66 still retaining the 66 heritage.
