Ending part 2 of the Route 66 trip...our last shots were taken in Texas-Route 66 Rest Area - McLean, Texas-f you are traveling east on Interstate Highway 40, this is a 'must see' rest area. Opened in 2003, the retro building has a full compliment of artifacts and signs from the Route 66 era and a history of the famous road. Even the restrooms are done in 1950's style and the place is always clean and neat. Even if you don't need a break, stop anyway to visit this historic place.
