A Fading Legacy

In recent years, Route 66 has lost some of its former glory. With the rise of modern interstate highways, the once-thriving road has been relegated to a mere shadow of its former self.

Embrace the Journey

In an era of fast-paced living and instant gratification, Michael Lund invites us to slow down, take a detour off the beaten path, and embrace the nostalgia of Route 66. He encourages us to appreciate the simpler pleasures in life, such as a leisurely drive along the open road or a heartfelt conversation with a fellow traveler.

Through his work, Michael reminds us that the true essence of Route 66 lies not only in the road itself but in the memories and connections it has fostered over the years. It is a symbol of our shared humanity and the longing for adventure and exploration that resides within each of us.

The Legacy Continues
