In an effort to answer the question “Is Route 66 Dead” Christian Gideon and a few friend embarked on a noble project. A multimedia project to draw more young people to the “Mother Road”. As Christian puts it “Our goal is to show a generation of young Americans how beautiful this country is when you leave the interstates, suburbs, and fast food chains behind. We will be documenting our journey through photographs-from Chicago to Santa Monica, California. Equal parts discovery, adventure, and introspective – it’s a sleepover at a complete strangers house, spontaneous side trip, follow your heart road trip. Follow us as we seek to rediscover America’s lost highway – not just for ourselves but for a generation“. Your funding will aid them in their travel expenses, publishing a coffee table book of photographs and stories from the journey, as well as a behind the scenes DVD. Chris says, “We’re not trying to get rich-we’re trying to start a movement“. A worth while project if you ask us! Those who contribute to the Kickstarter project will receive an array of prizes ranging from exclusive e-mail updates ($5 pledge), limited-edition T-shirt ($50), limited-edition “Is Route 66 Dead?” book ($350), behind-the-scenes DVD ($500) and joining the crew for a 300-mile portion of the journey ($2,000).
