Along 66, January 2020: About the "Singing Road"

These stories are taken from the Route 66 news blog site.  The site contains all you want to know about our Route 66 and on a daily basis.  I just pick out the ones of most interest to me, and tell just some of the story, so the site has a lot more about each story and pictures as well.

Check it out.

JANUARY 2--  The Singing Road of Route 66 in Tijeras, New Mexico is riding of into the sunset, meaning, it is fading since it is not getting regular upkeep.

This length of the Mother Road contains specially tuned rumble strips that, when you drive over them at 45 mph, you hear "America the Beautiful."

The county, however is considering taking over the maintenance.  It debuted n 2014.

Hopefully it will still be there when Liz and I get back out that far in the near future.  I went to You Tube and saw a video on it and you could definitely hear "America the beautiful."

Also, it is too bad there also isn't a strip that plays "Get Your Kicks" on you know what.
