Route 66 to Monument Valley

Stagecoach 66 Motel

Project Name

Welcome to Southwest Six!

I am currently in the process of building a Route 66 and American Southwest information and photo site for general use, and to keep myself occupied.

This site is mainly built to display photos from my past trips of I-44, I-40 which trace the remains of Old Route 66, as well as gather information on interesting places. I do plan on going down Route 66 again in the fall of 2009.

Contribute!

If you know of a place that is pretty interesting along Route 66 or in the American Southwest, something that would make an intesting photo subject why not share your Route 66 discovery! Check out my contact page or the info below.
