July 31 Challenge - The End of Route 66
Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2021 8:02 am
Join us all month long in July as we take a cross-country drive from Pennsylvania to California. Not literally,
but the idea is still the same.Challenges will be based on the road trip, the destinations, and possibly even a challenge or two based on the song lyrics made famous by the song writer Bobby Troup in 1946.
So join us as we Get Our Kicks on Route 66.
Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.
Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....
*Winner will be chosen via Random.Org.
Route 66 began in Chicago in 1926, at the intersection of Jackson Boulevard and Michigan Avenue. Historic Route 66 originally ended at 7th and Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, well away from the ocean. In 1936 however, the road was extended to reach its last official conclusion about a mile from the Pacific, at the intersection of Olympic and Lincoln boulevards. After the Route gained its status as a tourist attraction, the Route 66 Association decided this intersection was an anticlimactic terminus for travelers on the road and mounted the "End of the Trail" sign at Santa Monica Pier. So with that being said, your challenge is to create a layout using the color blue for the ocean.
Here's my layout.
