“We might be the first nation to drive to the poorhouse in an automobile,” said Will Rogers about America's love affair with cars & travel. In 1926, Henry Soulsby of Mount Olive, Illinois invested his life savings in 2 lots & built a small service station on what became #Route66.

Depending on your point of view, #SantaFe's Palace of Governors was the starting or ending point for 3 historic trails - the #SantaFeTrail, #ElCaminoReal de Tierra Adentro, and the #OldSpanishTrail. The arrival of the RR in 1881 marked the end of these historic trade networks.
