Geocache Description:

Get Your Kicks On Route 66
Enjoy your drive down the Mother Road.

The intent of this series is to point out historic or unique places along old route 66 between IL and CA. It is NOT meant to be a power trail as caches may be 50 miles or more apart. Stop and enjoy these sights along the way.













This cache features the only remaining remnants of the small town of Hooker MO. The Church and cemetery both date back to 1900 and served the citizens of the small community for years.
The two lane version of RT 66 passed right in front of the church and cemetery. The original RT 66 was extremely curvy and in this area there are still examples of both the original two lane as well as a long stretch of the four lane highway. When the 4 lane highway was put in it straightened out the curves and bypassed a lot of the small towns.
Take some time to explore the different types of RT 66 highway that are located in this area
Enjoy your trip down the "Great Mother Road" and I hope you are enjoying all the caches along the way.
This cache is a micro (pill bottle size) hidden in a different way. Please bring your own pen/pencil and if you get stuck decode the hint.
