PASS WITH CARE (191)

You all know about Route 66—the so-called “Mother Road.” And perhaps you’ve heard about Route 20, the longest road in the country. But we’ll be traveling U.S. Route 191, a sinuous, scenic, 2-lane blacktop that stretches 1,700 miles from the Mexican border to the Canadian, or the other way around, right through the heart of the rural West. We are finding some unusual and interesting people and their stories.
