If you think of neon and tail fins when the conversation turns to Route 66, today's program will be a surpise. Today we visit with Geoff Ladd, Assistant Director, Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway and discuss the innovative Route 66 Monarch Flyway project that links conservation and building a sense of community with the most famous highway in the world.
The Illinois Monarch Project that debuted on November 18th, 2020, is a Route 66 centered 66-mile-wide corridor that stretches from Chicago to St. Louis across the state of Illinois. By planting native wildflowers and restoring monarch butterfly habitat a bit of color is added to the roadside, and a threatened species is brought back from the brink.

Jim Hinckley's America is all about road trips and adventures on the road less traveled. On today's program our virtual guest hosts introduce listeners to an incredible urban trail system in Kingman, Arizona, a town best known for its Route 66 connection.
This trail system blends scenic wonders with historic treasures. When linked to Kingman Tours, the narrated self guided walking tours in the historic heart of the city, and along the Route 66 corridor, Kingman becomes a destination for the adventuresome traveler.
Join us for this special road trip inspiring program, and set your sights on a great escape from the cold winds of winter.
