Route 66 crosses another half of Missouri (71 miles) into corner of Kansas and only stays in the state for around 13 miles. During that time, you can see a few small towns with some historic attractions like Red Oaks houses, Precious Moments Chapel, Praying Hands, Grand Falls, Galena city where Disney created a movie of Pixar ‘Cars’, cute bed and breakfast inn, and delicious margarita of pineapple and jalapeno. It was the most precious experience for us and a lot of fun to see another state on Route 66 during our journey.

5, Cars on the Route, Galena, KS (Ember’s favorite place to go to because this is where old garage on the old Route 66 in Galena, Kansas, where the director John Lasseter and Joe Ranft of Disney’s Pixar “Cars” saw the rusty old tow truck that inspired the character “Tow Mater”. It’s a great place to stop by and enjoy the story with old gas pumps, food, and 66 collectibles. You can even enjoy its celebrity Tow Truck.
